“…Zhao and Sun (2016) found that environmental regulation not only has a weak positive effect on enterprise innovation, but also has a negative effect on enterprise competitiveness [11]. In addition, although Leeuwen et al (2013) confirmed the "weak" Porter hypothesis, it did not confirm the "strong" Porter hypothesis in their study [10]. Gray et al (2001) pointed out that regulation in the entire manufacturing industry in the United States would lead to a productivity drop of 9.3% [15].…”

“…Leeuwen et al (2013) and Zhao et al (2016) concluded that environmental regulation will restrain the efficiency of technological innovation and reduce the productivity of the manufacturing industry through empirical analysis [10,11]. Moreover, based on the analysis of externality theory, it is concluded that environmental regulation exerts constraints on the innovation behavior of enterprises, which results in the increase of environmental costs and the inhibition of enterprises' innovation enthusiasm.…”

Abstract:The "environmental pollution-economic development" circle is a problem in the process of national sustainable development. As a complex concept of environmental protection and technology innovation, green technology innovation is the key to cracking this strange circle. This paper divides green technology innovation into green product innovation and green process innovation and measures green technology innovation based on the perspective of energy saving and emission reduction. Furthermore, we examine the effects of environmental regulation and government R&D funding on green technology innovation. The empirical findings are as follows: (1) from the dynamic point of view, we test whether there is a significant "U-shaped" relationship between environmental regulation and green technological innovation, and we find there exists an "inflection point" in the role of environmental regulation in green technology innovation, and China is at the stage of inhibition before the "inflection point"; (2) direct government funding and tax incentives can promote green technology innovation, but the promotion of government tax incentives to green technology innovation is not significant; (3) the interaction between environmental regulation and government R&D will promote green product innovation and inhibit green process innovation, which is closely related to the imbalance of environmental regulation intensity in energy saving and emission reduction. In addition, this paper also gives out three kinds of control variables (the level of regional development, the proportion of the regional manufacturing industry, and the development level of regional export-oriented economy) and presents their effects on green technology innovation.

“…Brunnermeier and Cohen (2003) pollution and found that innovations in environmental regulation contribute little to long-term emission reduction. Leeuwen and Mohnen (2013) and Zhao and Sun (2016) showed that environmental regulation can even inhibit the efficiency of technological innovation and reduce the productivity of manufacturing. Therefore, from some perspectives and sample surveys, environmental regulation has been found not to significantly promote enterprise innovation.…”

Environmental Regulation and Enterprise Innovation: A Review

The impact of environmental regulation on enterprise innovation is closely related to the competitiveness of the enterprise and sustainable development of the regional economy, but existing research does not provide a consistent view. This paper summarizes the impacts of environmental regulation on enterprise innovation from the perspectives of technological innovation, product innovation, system innovation and ecological innovation. We find that the impacts of environmental regulation on enterprise innovation behaviour are complex, and that the impacts can be reflected together by the four aspects above and even by their interaction. Moreover, the impacts are not limited to the creation of new technologies, products, and systems but also include their adoption and application. In particular, whether the Porter hypothesis is true and which versions of the Porter hypothesis environmental regulation causes in enterprise innovation depend on enterprise characteristics, means of environmental regulation, and enterprises' strategic behaviours in an enterprise ecosystem. Finally, we propose five potential research directions: quantifying the degree of enterprise innovation caused by environmental regulation, the impacts of environmental regulation on sustainable economic development from an enterprise ecosystem perspective, the impacts of enterprise innovation on environmental regulation, the role of enterprise initiative in the relationship between environmental regulation and enterprise innovation, and social security issues and the integration of eliminated enterprises resulting from environmental regulation.
