Did the EPA's voluntary industrial toxics program reduce emissions? A GIS analysis of distributional impacts and by-media analysis of substitution
212
TL;DR: The authors evaluated the Environmental Protection Agency's Industrial Toxics program using an author-assembled GIS-database of manufacturing plants in the 48 contiguous states, controlling for mandated reductions in ozone depleting chemicals and changes in reporting of emissions.

Substitutability among undesirable outputs
TL;DR: In this article, a directional distance function is used to estimate shadow prices of the pollutants and the Morishima elasticity of transformation between two pollutants, NO x and SO2, as well as with respect to the desirable output, kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Do voluntary pollution reduction programs (VPRs) spur or deter environmental innovation? Evidence from 33/50
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study whether a government-sponsored voluntary pollution reduction program (VPR) promotes or deters the development of new environmental technologies that yield future emission reduction benefits using a panel of 127 U.S. manufacturing industries defined by 3-digit SIC classifications over the 1989-2004 period.

Do environmental right-to-know laws affect markets? Capitalization of information in the toxic release inventory
TL;DR: This paper investigated how information contained in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program, one of the largest environmental right-to-know programs, affects prices in the housing market.

Yasuhumi Mori,Eric W. Welch +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, survey data from more than 1700 Japanese facilities as well as follow-up interviews to identify the determinants of ISO certification, examine the differences between early, recent and in-process certifiers, and to understand how ISO 14001 certification affects various environmental and managerial outcomes in Japan.
Voluntary- and Information-Based Approaches to Environmental Management: A Public Economics Perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, a decentralized approach to environmental management has been proposed, along with the standard instruments of environmental policy (quantity, price, and tradeoff) along with decentralized approaches.

The Theory of Industrial Organization
Jean Tirole
- 01 Jan 1988
TL;DR: The Theory of Industrial Organization as discussed by the authors is the first primary text to treat the new industrial organization at the advanced-undergraduate and graduate level Rigorously analytical and filled with exercises coded to indicate level of difficulty, it provides a unified and modern treatment of the field with accessible models that are simplified to highlight robust economic ideas.
Corporate Social Responsibility: Strategic Implications*
TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of perspectives on corporate social responsibility (CSR) are described, which are used to develop a framework for consideration of the strategic implications of CSR. Based on this framework, an agenda for additional theoretical and empirical research on CSR is proposed.

The impact of environmental management on firm performance
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model is proposed that links strong environmental management to improved perceived future financial performance, as measured by stock market performance, and the linkage to firm performance is tested empirically using financial event methodology and archival data of firm-level environmental and financial performance.

Competition and corporate performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence that competition, as measured by increased numbers of competitors or by lower levels of rents, is associated with a significantly higher rate of total factor productivity growth.

Dummy Endogenous Variables in a Simultaneous Equation System
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the formulation and estimation of simultaneous equation models with both discrete and continuous endogenous variables and proposed a statistical model that is sufficiently rich to encompass the classical simultaneous equation model for continuous endogenous variable and more recent models for purely discrete endogenous variables as special cases of a more general model.
