Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-6673-4945 Financial resources for the circular economy: A perspective from businesses 2019 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted In recent years, a number of case studies of the circular economy in business have been analysed by academics. However, some areas of research are little explored at the micro level, such as the study of the characteristics of the financial resources applied to investments to introduce circular activities in businesses. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to define the resources applied to circular activities by firms. To describe the influence of financial resources on achieving a more advanced circular economy in business is also an objective of this paper. Using a sample of Spanish companies, we applied a partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM) to enhance the knowledge about financial resource management in the framework of the resource-based view. We find that availability of funds, quality of the firm''s own financial resources and public subsidies have a positive effect in stimulating the implementation of circular economy initiatives in businesses. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S33-17R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2013-45599-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2016-74920-C2-1-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.576 2019 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 120 / 265 = 0.453 2019 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 53 / 123 = 0.431 2019 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 26 / 41 = 0.634 2019 Q3 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 6 / 8 = 0.75 2019 Q3 T3 0.581 2019 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2019 Q2 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2019 Q2 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2019 Q2 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2019 Q2 Geography, Planning and Development 2019 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Portillo-Tarragona, P.
