The relationship between R&D subsidy and R&D cooperation in eco-innovative companies. An analysis taking a complementarity approach

We analyze whether eco-innovation has a positive or negative influence on the business performance of companies and, through the complementarity approach, whether the joint implementation of R&D subsidy and R&D cooperation increases or decreases the sum of their respective individual impacts...
