This paper contributes to the emerging literature on the adoption of environmental innovation, by investigating the so far unexplored role of governmental demand in stimulating 'greener' production choices. Specifically, the role of innovative public procurement in driving the adoption and diffusion of sustainable manufacturing technologies is analysed. Results, based on firm-level data in the 28 Member States of the European Union, Switzerland and the USA, are obtained through non-parametric matching techniques. Those outline the crucial role of innovative public procurement in the uptake of environmental innovations. This confirms the relevance of such policy instrument in allowing countries to achieve a decarbonised and sustainable growth path which is compatible with competitiveness goals.
本文通过研究政府需求在刺激“更绿色”生产选择方面迄今未被探索的作用，为有关环境创新采用的新兴文献做出了贡献。具体而言，分析了创新型公共采购在推动可持续制造技术采用和扩散方面的作用。基于欧盟28个成员国、瑞士和美国企业层面数据的结果，是通过非参数匹配技术获得的。这些结果勾勒出创新型公共采购在采用环境创新方面的关键作用。这证实了这种政策工具在使各国实现与竞争力目标相兼容的脱碳和可持续增长路径方面的相关性。
