Resumen

Actualmente, la ecoinnovación es considerada como el motor para la transición verde. Este artículo analiza la relación entre el desarrollo económico y la ecoinnovación para la UE-27 en el periodo 2013-2022. Los resultados muestran una curva en forma de S en la relación entre ambas variables en estos países: un menor nivel de PIB per cápita implica que el crecimiento de la ecoinnovación es monotónicamente positivo o exponencial, sin embargo, un mayor nivel de desarrollo muestra que la ecoinnovación se estanca
