Description
Open Innovation and Circular Economy: Mechanisms and Pathways to Sustainable Development presents a rigorous and timely exploration of the dynamic relationship between open innovation and circular economy as engines of sustainable development. Drawing on empirical studies and spatial econometric models, it reveals spatial differentiation in circular economy efficiency and quantifies how institutional factors modulate the impact of innovation.
The volume integrates comparative case studies from China, the United States, and other countries to construct a practical policy toolbox to address regional disparities and promote sustainable urban transformation. The book is organized into three parts covering foundational theories and conceptual frameworks; measurement, methodologies, and empirical analysis; and global perspectives with case studies and policy implications. Detailed chapters cover topics such as spatial clustering, econometric modeling, industrial structure upgrading mechanisms, spatial spillovers, and international comparative studies, culminating in a comprehensive transformation roadmap for policymakers and practitioners. This reference benefits academic researchers, policy makers, government agencies, and industry practitioners engaged in innovation economics, urban sustainability, and circular economy.
It equips scholars and students with interdisciplinary methodologies and data analysis tools, supports policymakers with evidence-based governance strategies, and guides industries in overcoming institutional and technological barriers, fostering economic and ecological prosperity amid global sustainability challenges.
