Enhancing environmental sustainability: the impact of mission-oriented innovation policies on green innovation and patent trends
通过分析欧洲绿色专利趋势，量化使命导向型创新政策对绿色创新的影响，发现这类政策能显著增加绿色专利申请，为政策制定者推动可持续发展提供实用参考。
Abstract This study explores the link between mission-oriented innovation policies (MOIPs) and green innovation by analysing green patent trends in Europe. The study quantifies MOIPs and its effect, filling a previously unexplored gap. This research offers an advancement in the methodology of assessing the impact of innovation policies, demonstrating the efficacy of machine learning in policy analysis. The findings reveal a significant connection between mission-oriented projects and increased green patent applications. It also indicates that state actors can stimulate innovation in certain areas in a targeted manner. This provides practical insights for policymakers and is instrumental in guiding future sustainable development efforts.
