Innovation-driven industrial green development : the moderating role of regional factors by Li, Wei, Wang, Jue, Chen, Rongxiao, Xi, Yongqin, Liu, Shi Qiang, Wu, Feimei, Masoud, Mahmoud, Wu, Xueping

“…The empirical results show that 1) innovation does promote IGD and is most effective in low-carbon production, followed by resource reduction, economic operation, and pollution abatement; 2) there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the regional IGD level and the role of innovation in IGD; and 3) both government-scale and enterprise-scale contribute to the innovation-driven IGD. These findings provide new insights into the impact of innovation on IGD and may shed light on future decisions related to green development.…”

The regional dimension in the global competition for talent : lessons from framing the European Scientific Visa and Blue Card by Cerna, Lucie, Chou, Meng-Hsuan

“…Taking as our departure point Borrás and Radaelli's (2011) concept of the Lisbon Strategy as ‘governance architecture’, we apply the framing approach to show how the Scientific Visa and Blue Card framed labour migration differently: as initiatives for ‘mobile excellence’ and ‘border management’ respectively. Our findings reveal that they contributed to the Lisbon Strategy's evolution as a process of ‘conversion’ and point to the ‘value-added’ of regional co-operation as a ‘sense-making’ exercise.…”
