Green technology progress and total factor productivity of resource-based enterprises: A perspective of technical compensation of environmental regulation

TL;DR: The central environmental inspection policy significantly improves green total factor productivity by enhancing technological progress, but negatively impacts technical efficiency.

TL;DR: Resource dependence negatively impacts ESG performance of enterprises, particularly SOEs, in China.

TL;DR: Low-carbon governance promotes enterprise green development in China, particularly for private enterprises and those in the East. However, fiscal decentralization can inhibit this effect.

TL;DR: This study examines the relationship between a favorable business environment and low-carbon transition in developing countries, leveraging city-level data from China, and finds a positive impact on carbon efficiency through green technology progress and new firm entry.

TL;DR: In this article, a firm is considered to have a sustained competitive advantage when it is implementing a value creating strategy that no competitor is implementing and when these competitors are unable to duplicate the benefits of this strategy.

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).

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.

TL;DR: The theory of economic development was first published in 1911 by Schumpeter as discussed by the authors, who argued that economics is a natural self-regulating mechanism when undisturbed by "social and other meddlers." In his preface he argues that despite weaknesses, theories are based on logic and provide structure for understanding fact.
