“…For example, firms with larger facilities face higher potential costs when large sites are more difficult to inspect or when more reports are required to meet regulatory requirements. Pashigian (1984) shows that increased regulation in the early 1970s led to a decrease in the optimal size of manufacturing plants, a finding that closely parallels the results of Ringleb & Wiggins (1990) for increases in liability.…”

“…A few micro economic studies were conducted, such as Pittman (1981) and Pashigian (1984). However, these studies also focussed primarily upon the effects of pollution controls upon the production process, in particular the effect upon scale economies.…”

Environmental efficiency measurement and the materials balance condition

The materials balance condition is a fundamental adding up condition, which essentially says that: ''what goes in must come out''. In this paper we argue that a number of the recently developed methods of incorporating pollution measures into standard productive efficiency models may be inconsistent with this fundamental condition. We propose an alternative method that involves the incorporation of the materials balance concept into the production model in a similar manner to which price information is normally incorporated. This produces a new environmental efficiency measure that can be decomposed into technical and allocative components, in a similar manner to the conventional cost efficiency decomposition. The approach is illustrated with the case of phosphorus emission on Belgian pig-finishing farms, using data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods. Our results indicate that a substantial proportion of nutrient pollution on these farms can be abated in a cost reducing manner.

“…Implementing environmental strategies entails extensive R&D investment, including failure risks and unforeseen costs [56]. For example, the capital required for the technological development and operation of pollution control devices has increased consistently [57][58][59][60]. Through collaboration with research organizations, firms may share such risks and costs and thus commit more strongly to environmental excellence [21].…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study was to advance our understanding of corporate environmental performance by linking its antecedents and consequences. This study examined how collaboration with research organizations, as a proactive strategic decision, influences the environmental performance of firms, which in turn leads to innovation performance. Using the data collected from 597 Korean firms representing a cross-section of industries, we found that a firm's collaboration with research organizations positively affected the firm's environmental performance, which positively influenced its innovation performance. Furthermore, the results indicated a full mediation effect of environmental performance on the relationship between collaboration with research organizations and innovation performance. This study offers a more comprehensive understanding of corporate environmental performance and discusses implications for innovation performance. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.
