Abstract
Environmental regulation and Public Procurement for Innovation (PPI) are two key policy instruments for promoting effective biodiversity policies. Both aim to steer firms’ innovation activities toward socially desirable outcomes. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity-related environmental regulation and PPI using a novel dataset of 3,831 tenders extracted from the Tenders Electronic Daily platform and matched with World Bank data. The findings indicate a negative association between the stringency of biodiversity regulation and the use of biodiversity-oriented PPI. This evidence suggests that biodiversity regulation and demand-side innovation policies such as PPI tend to act as substitutes rather than complements.
