“…Aghion et al (2016[21]) and Calel and Dechezleprêtre (2016 [22])). It is however plausible that firms along the supply chain of regulated entities (both upstream and downstream) are also indirectly exposed to the regulation and respond by innovating (Bellas and Lange, 2010 [23]; Bellas, Finney and Lange, 2013 [24]). These mechanisms are theoretically put forward by Greaker (2006[25]) and Heyes and Kapur (2011[26]).…”

“…The magnitude of the within-sector effects increases slightly to 0.2 when adding the supply chain weights. 24 Again, we estimate several alternative specifications to test the robustness of our results. Effects for EPS also remain similar in magnitude and significance when including both policy indicators -FEPI and the EPSwithin the same specification (Table E.1.…”

“…This doesn't preclude the possibilities that environmental regulations induce new green technology leaders higher up the supply chain, but to our knowledge no study has looked at effects of such regulation on the entire supply chain. Yet, some evidence suggests that environmental regulation can trigger innovation from technology suppliers (Bellas and Lange, 2010;Bellas et al, 2013). Further research could jointly look at the environmental and economic performance taking into account the whole supply chain.…”

This article reviews the empirical literature combining economic and environmental performance data at the micro-level, i.e. firm-or facility-level. The literature has generally found a positive and statistically significant correlation between economic performance, as measured by profitability indicators or stock market returns, and environmental performance, as measured by emissions of pollutants or adoption of international environmental standards. The main reason for this finding seems to be that firms that reduce their material and energy costs experience both better economic performance and lower emissions. Only a small and recent literature analyses the joint causal impact of environmental regulations on environmental and economic performance. Interestingly, this literature shows that environmental regulations tend to improve environmental performance while not weakening economic performance. However, the evidence so far is limited to a handful of environmental regulations that are not extremely stringent, so the result cannot be easily generalized. More research is needed to assess the joint effects of environmental regulations on environmental and economic performance, to explore the heterogeneity of these effects across sectors, countries and types of policies, and to understand which policy designs allow improving environmental quality while not coming at a cost in terms of economic performance of regulated businesses.

“…[] are exceptions, finding that the mere existence, or even anticipation, of sufficiently stringent regulations, regardless of their form, is sufficient to inspire innovation. Bellas and Lange [] and Bellas et al . [] find evidence from the market for particulate matter control equipment and water cooling systems, respectively, in support of the David and Sinclair‐Desgagne [] hypothesis, where technological advance may occur but its value will be captured by the supplier in the form of higher prices for the technology.…”

Steam-based electrical generating plants use large quantities of water for cooling. The potential environmental impacts of water cooling systems have resulted in their inclusion in the Clean Water Act's (CWA) Sections 316(a), related to thermal discharges and 316(b), related to cooling water intake. The CWA mandates a technological standard for water cooling systems. This analysis examines how the performanceadjusted rates of thermal emissions and water withdrawals for cooling units have changed over their vintage and how these rates of change were impacted by imposition of the CWA. Results show that the rate of progress increased for cooling systems installed after the CWA whilethere was no progress previous to it.
