Understanding green regional path development: a systematic study of the Nordic regions
This paper addresses the gaps in understanding green regional path development and the role of firm-level agency in driving regional green transitions. By analysing a large patent dataset covering 30 years, we provide a systematic account of green regional path development in 70 regions across four Nordic countries. We identify six types of green path development – extension, stagnation, extinction, diversification, renewal and creation – and explore how different types of organisations – incumbents and new entrants – contribute to these paths. We show that regions often have multiple green paths, and the dominant types are mostly driven by incumbents.
