Sažetak
The OECD countries are in pursuit of the betterment of environmental quality based on their capability of Eco-innovation. This
progression might pave their ways in attaining the Sustainable
Developmental Goals (SDGs). Developing a green financing channel for funding is necessary for the sustenance of these projects.
However, the potential impact of this project financing mechanism is conditional on the social balance in the economic system.
Gender inequality being a major social issue in the OECD countries, it might pose a predicament in attaining the full potential of
the green financing of eco-innovations. It is anticipated that the
eco-innovation endeavors in the OECD countries are not genderinclusive, and hence, gender inequality might limit the cognitive
aptitude of these endeavors. The present study intends to assess
the moderating role of gender inequality on the impact of green
financing of eco-innovations for the OECD countries. Using the
dynamic elasticity modeling approach, the study finds that the
presence of gender inequality dampens the potential of green
financing mechanisms to boost eco-innovations. The social imbalance caused by gender inequality also weakens the impacts of
the structural and institutional environment to foster innovations.
Based on the findings of the study, an SDG-oriented policy framework has been suggested.
