Abstract
The following research paper examines the impact of varying environmental
regulation stringency on the landscape of green technological innovation in the maritime
industry from 2006-2020. Additionally, the paper explores the potential indirect effect of these
innovations, induced by stringency levels, on industry competitiveness. The research is
grounded in a theoretical framework primarily drawing from institutional theory and Porter’s
theory of competitive advantage. The analysis encompasses data from 22 countries across the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), with the additional
inclusion of countries such as China, Russia, and India. This wide-ranging dataset allows for a
comprehensive examination of... (More)

Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), with the additional
inclusion of countries such as China, Russia, and India. This wide-ranging dataset allows for a
comprehensive examination of the relationships between stringency, innovation, and
competitiveness in the maritime industry. This study adopts a quantitative approach, employing
random-effects logistic regressions, random effects/fixed effects panel regressions and
mediation analyses. Overall, this study finds that stringency does not seem to differentiate
between the types of innovation. Moreover, this study concludes that stringency has a positive,
significant relationship with the total number of green innovations, and there is a mediation
effect present when examining the relationship between stringency and competitiveness. (Less)
