Abstract
The aim of the present work is to assess and capture the specific interactions related to the environment and technology of developed and developing countries, in 1990, 2000 and 2010. The database used factors related to environmental innovation activity, degree of economic development, conditions of infrastructure, alternative energy production capacity, gas emission level and scientific ability of the economies. The methodology covers a method unexplored in literature about innovation, qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). Applying the technique for each year, the results provide a static analysis of possible changes in specific configurations of each country in this time frame. The results indicate that the configurations that lead to environmental innovation activity are represented by good conditions for scientific, technological and economic capacity.References
