Abstract: As global demand for green products accelerates, emerging economies are increasingly seeking to leverage their existing capacities to support green transitions and capture high-growth market opportunities. This study examines the role of green and non-green relatedness in the development of new green specialisations across Argentine provinces, offering insights into potential pathways for green development. Using relatedness density as a measure of knowledge proximity, results show that the likelihood of developing a new green specialisation is positively associated with both green and non-green knowledge assets within a region. The findings highlight that green policies which neglect spatial disparities risk exacerbating regional imbalances in green economic opportunities. The methodology developed in this study offers a transferable framework for other developing economies aiming to assess and strengthen their regional green economy potential.
