The Porter Hypothesis and the Economic Consequences of Environmental Regulation

Thomas Roediger-Schluga ()

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Combining the public choice literature on political decision making with the Neo-Schumpeterian literature on innovation, this valuable new book develops a conceptual model of how environmental regulation is designed. The author presents a novel perspective on the Porter Hypothesis, arguing that the effect of environmental regulation is too weak to induce technological change. This implies that environmental policy intervention has little, if any, economic consequences which has significant repercussions for environmental decision-making.
