The role of green and non-green relatedness in the development of new green specialisations in Argentinean provinces
研究了阿根廷各省绿色与非绿色知识关联度如何影响新绿色专业化的发展,发现两者均能提升成功概率,并指出忽视空间差异的绿色政策可能加剧区域不平衡。
As global demand for green products accelerates, emerging economies are increasingly seeking to leverage their existing capacities to support green transitions and capture high-growth market opportunities. This study examines the role of green and non-green relatedness in the development of new green specialisations across Argentine provinces, offering insights into potential pathways for green development. Using relatedness density as a measure of knowledge proximity, results show that the likelihood of developing a new green specialisation is positively associated with both green and non-green knowledge assets within a region. The findings highlight that green policies which neglect spatial disparities risk exacerbating regional imbalances in green economic opportunities. The methodology developed in this study offers a transferable framework for other developing economies aiming to assess and strengthen their regional green economy potential.
