Overview

Randomized trial reveals environmental activism patterns in regions with concentrated knowledge economies, indicating economic structures influence engagement.

Key Points

  • This research investigates how the concentration of the knowledge economy influences patterns of environmental activism in various regions of Italy.
  • Analyzed pro- and anti-environmental activism across Italian provinces from 2012 to 2022 using novel measures.
  • Utilized a Bartik-like instrumental variable to assess the impact of knowledge economy concentration.
  • Knowledge economy concentration reduces pro-environmental activism almost twice as much as anti-environmental activism.
  • Knowledge-intensive areas show a greater prevalence of anti-environmental sentiment amongst remaining activism.
  • Findings highlight the necessity for green transition policies to consider diverse economic contexts and their effects on collective action.
