Can environmental regulation promote green innovation in heavily polluting enterprises? Empirical evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in China
Zhaoqiang Zhong,Benhong Peng +1 more
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the influence of environmental regulation on enterprise green innovation and found that the NEPL has significantly promoted the green innovation of heavily polluting enterprises and the marginal effects of NEPL exhibit a fluctuating trend of "first decline, then rise and then decline" over time, and the overall trend is downward.

Job losses and political acceptability of climate policies: why the ‘job-killing’ argument is so persistent and how to overturn it
TL;DR: In this article, socologists and behavioural scientists recognize the importance of selecting environmental policies that have been proven to work well in other domains, such as climate change, and political acceptability is an essential issue in choosing appropriate climate policies.

Do environmental taxes and environmental stringency policies reduce CO2 emissions? Evidence from 7 emerging economies.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the effectiveness of environmental tax and environmental policy stringency in reducing CO2 emission in a panel of 7 emerging economies for the period 1994-2015, and find that CO2 emissions are negatively and significantly related to total environmental tax.

Environmental Policy, Innovation, and Productivity Growth: Controlling the Effects of Regulation and Endogeneity
Erik Hille,Patrick Möbius +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, shadow prices of energy and industrial energy prices are employed as relative measures of policy stringency to analyze the environmental regulation-productivity nexus and find that stricter environmental regulation fosters innovation and has an indirect, yet not decisive, positive effect on productivity growth.

Environmental regulation and productivity growth: main policy challenges.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the environmental regulation-productivity nexus for 18 OECD countries over the years 1990-2015 and discuss its main policy challenges and find that environmental policies have a productivity growth-promoting effect.

The Impact of Trade on Intra-Industry Reallocations and Aggregate Industry Productivity
TL;DR: This paper developed a dynamic industry model with heterogeneous firms to analyze the intra-industry effects of international trade and showed how the exposure to trade will induce only the more productive firms to enter the export market (while some less productive firms continue to produce only for the domestic market).
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a New Conception of the Environment-Competitiveness Relationship
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the trade-off between environmental regulation and competitiveness unnecessarily raises costs and slows down environmental progress, and that instead of simply adding to cost, properly crafted environmental standards can trigger innovation offsets, allowing companies to improve their resource productivity.

A Model of Growth Through Creative Destruction
Philippe Aghion,Peter Howitt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of endogenous growth is developed in which vertical innovations, generated by a competitive research sector, constitute the underlying source of growth and equilibrium is determined by a forward-looking difference equation, according to which the amount of research in any period depends upon the expected amount of the research next period.

Economic Growth and the Environment
Gene M. Grossman,Alan B. Krueger +1 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between per capita income and various environmental indicators and found no evidence that environmental quality deteriorates steadily with economic growth, rather, for most indicators, economic growth brings an initial phase of deterioration followed by a subsequent phase of improvement.
Green and Competitive: Ending the Stalemate
TL;DR: The Dutch flower industry has responded to its environmental problems by developing a closed-loop system to reduce the risk of infestation, reducing the need for fertilizers and pesticides, and improving product quality as mentioned in this paper.
