Abstract: This dissertation focuses on the bioeconomy in Germany, examining the mechanisms by which technological and institutional innovations influence, promote, and support its development. Specifically, this dissertation i) evaluates the potential impact of R&D investments on carbon emissions through the dynamic interactions among agricultural carbon subsystems using a system dynamics modelling approach based on sectoral data (Chapter II), ii) estimates the mitigation and spillover effects of technological innovation on carbon emissions using an extended Spatial Durbin Model based on 401 NUTS-3 level panel data (Chapter Ⅲ), and ⅲ) examines the impacts of bioclusters, representing regional institutional innovation in Germany, on green total factor productivity (GTFP) through a series of quasi-natural experiments, and a mediating model based on 401 NUTS-3 level panel data (Chapter Ⅳ). The findings provide insights the sustainable transition to bioeconomy in Germany.
