摘要

本研究评估了环境实践对喀麦隆工业企业生产效率的影响。它使用随机前沿模型和倾向得分匹配来分析2015年国际发展研究中心（RCID）调查中169家喀麦隆工业公司的数据。我们的结果分析表明；工业企业的生产效率水平较低。此外，采用环境实践对企业的生产效率有显著的负面影响。鉴于这些见解，我们的分析表明，政府必须建立信息、技术和财政支持机制，以降低企业面临的成本，并重新定义这些实践的“双赢”逻辑。

Impact of environmental practices on productive efficiency of industrial firms in Cameroon

This study assesses the impact of the adoption of environmental practices on the productive efficiency of industrial firms in Cameroon. It uses the stochastic frontier model and propensity score matching to analyze data from 169 Cameroonian industrial firms from the 2015 Research Center for International Development (RCID) survey.

Our results analysis shows that; the level of productive efficiency of industrial firms is low. In addition, the adoption of environmental practices has a negative and significant impact on the productive efficiency of firms. Given these insights, our analysis suggests that the government must put in place informational, technical, and financial support mechanisms to reduce the costs facing businesses and redefine the «Win-Win» logic of these practices.

期刊介绍： World Development Perspectives is a multi-disciplinary journal of international development. It seeks to explore ways of improving human well-being by examining the performance and impact of interventions designed to address issues related to: poverty alleviation, public health and malnutrition, agricultural production, natural resource governance, globalization and transnational processes, technological progress, gender and social discrimination, and participation in economic and political life. Above all, we are particularly interested in the role of historical, legal, social, economic, political, biophysical, and/or ecological contexts in shaping development processes and outcomes.
