Objective
The project will offer a conceptual clarification of eco-innovation (developing a typology) based on an understanding of innovation dynamics, and identify and discuss the main methodological challenges in developing indicators and statistics on eco-innovation and how these may be overcome.
Some important challenges for eco-innovation measurement to be investigated are
1. The ongoing nature (changing characteristics) of an eco-innovation
2. The novelty and importance of an innovation
3. Possibilities for combining different innovation measures (input indicators and output indicators, direct and indirect measures)
4. The aggregation of eco-innovation into meaningful categories
5. The links between different types of innovation, for instance the link between organisational innovation and technological innovation
6. The competitiveness of eco-innovation of different type
We will propose possible indicators for measuring relevant aspects of eco-innovation, taking into account data availability issues, and de fine future research needed to address these methodological challenges in developing eco-innovation indicators and set up guidance for the most feasible route for implementation of eco-innovation indicators on the time scale envisaged.
The project will be done by eco-innovation experts with people from statistical bureaus from two communities: the environmental accounting community and the innovation community, including Eurostat and the European Environment Agency (EEA).
