Eco-innovation and exports in heterogeneous firms: pollution haven effect and Porter hypothesis as competing theories
ABSTRACT The effects of environmental policies on eco-innovation and trade performance are studied separately in the literature, and varying inferences across the studies are reported. This paper sheds light on this debate as it theoretically and empirically studies the pollution haven effect and strong Porter hypothesis in a unified framework that accounts for productivity and size heterogeneity at the firm level. The present study discusses a detailed analysis of theoretical predictions and empirical outcomes, based on the regulation–innovation–trade nexus, to assess the specific channels through which such effects might operate. Based on German and East European cross-sectional data at the firm level, results show that an eco-innovation that a regulation induces can generate either a positive effect or a detrimental effect on exporting propensity. Results also suggest that productivity, size and geographical heterogeneity of firms are extremely relevant.
期刊介绍:
Economics of Innovation and New Technology is devoted to the theoretical and empirical analysis of the determinants and effects of innovation, new technology and technological knowledge. The journal aims to provide a bridge between different strands of literature and different contributions of economic theory and empirical economics. This bridge is built in two ways. First, by encouraging empirical research (including case studies, econometric work and historical research), evaluating existing economic theory, and suggesting appropriate directions for future effort in theoretical work. Second, by exploring ways of applying and testing existing areas of theory to the economics of innovation and new technology, and ways of using theoretical insights to inform data collection and other empirical research. The journal welcomes contributions across a wide range of issues concerned with innovation, including: the generation of new technological knowledge, innovation in product markets, process innovation, patenting, adoption, diffusion, innovation and technology policy, international competitiveness, standardization and network externalities, innovation and growth, technology transfer, innovation and market structure, innovation and the environment, and across a broad range of economic activity not just in ‘high technology’ areas. The journal is open to a variety of methodological approaches ranging from case studies to econometric exercises with sound theoretical modelling, empirical evidence both longitudinal and cross-sectional about technologies, regions, firms, industries and countries.
