Insights from patent analysis in the pesticide business.  aThe Brief explores the relationship between industrial dynamics, business strategies, and environmental regulations in the agrochemical industry. Focusing on contested technologies that continue to be used despite evidence of their hazardous impacts, the book calls for investigating the potential hazards during the inventive phase of companies to anticipate future risks. Combining patent analysis with computational chemistry and toxicology, the author examines the toxicity of chemical inventions and the effectiveness of environmental regulations in curbing harmful products. The result is a comprehensive dataset that combines patent data with chemical structures, which provides valuable insights into firms' innovation strategies as well as their potential hazards. Underscoring the importance of effective regulation in addressing social and environmental challenges, this Brief will be of interest to researchers and practitioners at the intersection of numerous fields, including economic policy, industrial economics, agribusiness, management, life sciences, and sustainability. 0aPower resources. 0aEnvironmental economics. 0aIndustrial policy. 0aTechnological innovations.14aResource and Environmental Economics.24aRegulation and Industrial Policy.24aInnovation and Technology Management.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303152688608iPrinted edition:z9783031526909 0aSpringerBriefs in Economics,x2191-551240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-52689-3
