A lasting crisis affects R&D decisions of smaller firms: the Greek experience.

We use the prolonged Greek crisis as a case study to understand how a lasting economic shock affects the innovation strategies of firms in economies with moderate innovation activities. Adopting the 3-stage CDM model, we explore the link between R&D, innovation, and productivity for different size groups of Greek manufacturing firms during the prolonged crisis. At the first stage, we find that the continuation of the crisis is harmful for the R&D engagement of smaller firms while it increased the willingness for R&D activities among the larger ones.

GLOBALINTO input-output intangibles database: Industry-level data on intangibles for the EU-27 and the UK.

This paper presents the GLOBALINTO Input-Output Intangibles Database, that was constructed in the context of the Horizon2020 project 'GLOBALINTO: Capturing the value of intangible assets in micro data to promote the EU's Growth and Competitiveness'. The database is formulated under an input-output framework and treats intangibles as producer services that derive from certain knowledge producing sectors in the economy (namely J62-J63 - Computer programming, consultancy, and related activities; Information service activities, M72 - Scientific research and development, M73 - Advertising and market research, and N - Administrative and support service activities) and embeds them withing the context of global value chains (GVCs) as traded knowledge intermediates. Data include intangibles related variables for 56 2-digit NACE Rev.

Action plan for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions in the hospital-based health care of the Hellenic Army.

Climate change is a growing threat for human health and well-being, one that will seriously impact and potentially disrupt all economic sectors and supply chains, such as trade, tourism, agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. The environmental impact of the delivery of medical and hospital care, which generates its own greenhouse gas emissions, needs to be examined and analyzed in detail in order to design and implement effective mitigation actions and measures. Hospital internal energy use processes include the energy consumed for hospital operation, such as lighting, heating, cooking, waste treatment, and other functions associated with the logistical and operational support of hospitals.
