Title: Green Technological Diversification and Local Recombinant Capabilities: The Role of Technological Novelty and Academic Inventors.
Abstract: This paper studies the entry of regions in new green technological specializations, specifically investigating the role of local recombinant capabilities and the 
involvement of academic inventors in patenting activities, as well as the interplay between the two. We test our hypotheses on a dataset of Italian NUTS 3 regions over the 
period 1998-2009. The results show that both recombinant capabilities and the presence of academic inventors are positively associated to new entries in green technological
specializations, and that their interaction provides a compensatory mechanism in regions lacking adequate novel combinatorial capabilities. The findings of this work are 
relevant for policy makers involved in the elaboration of successful regional specialization strategies in green technological domains.
