In addition to Alfie's stuff - are you looking for environmental
legislation on innovation and competitiveness? If so, you're looking for
the works published on the Journal of Economic Perspectives (Porter and
Van der Linde 1995 and rebuttal by Karen Palmer et al).

You may also want to look at Neil Cunningham's work on smart regulation.

Cheers,
Raul

Hallo,

Along those lines I can recommend 'The dynamics of the eco-efficient economy' (2000) published by Edward Elgar; Cheltenham, UK (1-84064-562-8), editor Dr.E.F.M.Wubben (ed.). E.g. with the renowned Prof.dr.F.Lévêque (Cerna, Fr), Prof.dr. D. Siniscalco (Enrico Mattei, Milano), M.E.Porter &. C. van der Linde, and the current Dutch Minister of Environment l affairs (at that time consultant with Philips, Akzo Nobel, and other firms) prof.dr. J.Cramer.



Best Regards,

Hi Kai,

There is a stream of research that looks at the relative impact of environmental regulations on small (or new) versus large (or existing) business. We published of series of articles in this stream in the late 90's, in which we hypothesized and found entry barrier effects of environmental regulations (see below). There are some pretty interesting implications for innovation, entrepreneurship, policy, and competitive dynamics (potential for rent seeking behavior). Best, Tom

Hockerts, Kai and Rolf Wüstenhagen, "Greening Goliaths versus emerging Davids - Theorizing about the role of incumbents and new entrants in sustainable entrepreneurship", Journal of Business Venturing (2009), doi:10.1016/j.jbusvent.2009.07.005.

Two contributions.

1. This amusing artifact may be useful to explain the Australian context.

For those none Australians wondering what this is all about, Rudda is the Australian Prime Minister Elmer Fudd, Pricess LaLa is Julia Gillard the Deputy Prime Minister, C3PO is Peter Garrett (onetime front man of Midnight Oil) the Minister for the Environment, RU Wong 2 is Senator Penny Wong,minister for Climate Change (Australia Senators are elected and despite being in a different Parliamentary House they can also hold ministerial appointments - I am still not sure how that works). The shaddow with the big ears is Tony Abboott the newly elected leader of the conservative Opposition (which is called the Liberal party - nothing at all like the socialist Canadian Liberal party). All biases asside, the cartoon has most excellently captured the characters of those involved and the way they are approaching environmental management.

2. I wrote this article in 1991 about successful innovation. It was not inspired by environmental legislation, but by the industry policy of Senator John Button, the Minister for Industry in the era of the Hawke / Keating ALP Governments. I would say that he was one of Australia's best industry ministers; a person who dealt with convolution and dysfunctionality in a most effective way.

This was written when I was a technocrat industrial engineer and before I considered doing any serious academic research. However, it is an artifact worth considering, as it reports of real cases in industry where I had first hand experience.
