Asset Replacement and Green Innovation: Dynamic Complementarity and Paradoxical Effects on Carbon Intensity in Korean Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a balanced panel of 93 Korean firms over 2014–2023, this study examines how the interaction between green innovation and asset replacement strategies is associated with changes in carbon intensity over time. Distinguishing between tangible and intangible asset pathways, we identify two contrasting temporal patterns. When green innovation
