The article also aims to test whether waste patents, as a specific indicator of circular innovation, are more valuable assets that need specific strategic management due to their level of novelty, complexity, and radicalness being higher than other green or conventional innovations. The empirical analysis uses a rich firm-level dataset of worldwide companies for the 2011–2015 period, with 1330 observations to show that environmental disclosure and environmental performance are positively associated with circular innovation. This innovation is in fact, more intensive in patent claims and patent citation generation, indicating a higher economic value for companies. The article contributes to this new line of inquiry on defining circular innovation, as well as providing some environmental determinants and consequences from the stakeholders' perspective in relation to circular business models. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/LMP175_21 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S33-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S42-23R-CREVALOR info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-113338RB-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/MICINN/TED2021-130238B-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 5.7 2024 MANAGEMENT 77 / 420 = 0.183 2024 Q1 T1 BUSINESS 59 / 316 = 0.187 2024 Q1 T1 1.778 2024 Business and International Management 2024 Q1 Strategy and Management 2024 Q1 Management of Technology and Innovation 2024 Q1 Business, Management and Accounting (miscellaneous) 2024 Q1 12.7 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Scarpellini, Sabina Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7077-5352 4012 650 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
