Green Innovation and Firm Efficiency: The Role of Institutional Quality in Italian High‐Tech Manufacturing Sectors

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this research is to verify whether institutional quality affects the relationship between green innovation and firm efficiency within the high‐tech manufacturing sectors. To estimate jointly the parameters of a stochastic frontier and the coefficients of a model explaining technical inefficiency, we employed the one‐step estimation ...

The time-energy budget of a moose

Theoretical Population Biology, 1978
Abstract As the first step in developing an optimal foraging model for moose (Belovsky 1978), a time-energy budget for a moose was developed. For the summer period (late May through early September) at Isle Royale National Park, Michigan, we made various behavioral observations on feeding moose and inventoried their food resources.

Energy and Energy Budgets

1980
Organisms are comprised of cells, which are highly organized groupings of complex molecules. To maintain the degree of organization making up life, energy of the right magnitude is necessary. One learns from thermodynamics that the natural trend of the universe is to go toward increased entropy, i.e., from a degree of order toward more disorder.

Balancing insect energy budgets

Oecologia, 1985
Energy budgets are based upon the equation C=P P + R + FU, where C = Consumption, P = Production, R = Respiration, and FU= Rejecta (comprising F, egesta, and U, excreta). In studies of insect energetics where all four quantities have been measured, the completed budget rarely balances.
