“…However, consumers' willingness to pay for green products often increases along with the green performance of the industry, not because of the green performance of individual firms (Mohr & Saha, 2008), and the lag between the time that firms invest in environmentally friendly products and when consumers perceive the environmental quality of goods diminishes the profitability of producing green products (Constantatos & Herrmann, 2011).…”

The impact of environmental regulation on the competitiveness of firms and industries remains a hot topic. Since the formulation of the Porter hypothesis, scholars from different research areas have tried to confirm or deny it. However, despite a vast literature engaging this debate, it remains unclear whether and under what conditions the hypothesis could be considered valid. We believe that this is due to the need to consider some additional factors. The aim of this review is to propose additional and significant themes, namely value appropriation and pollution intensity, to be considered when examining the impact of environmental regulation on the innovation and profitability of firms. Results show that the validity of the Porter hypothesis cannot be proved in any condition, but at the same time, there are additional factors that have a relevant influence on that construct, which can lead to a validation or rejection of the hypothesis.

“…Mohr (2002) showed that environmental regulation, like higher energy prices, are encouraging firms to invest in clean technologies. Also Mohr and Saha (2008) showed that environmental taxes trigger green innovation. Schmutzler (2001) chose an ownermanager model and confirmed that environmental taxes lead to innovation activities if some restrictive conditions are fulfilled.…”

Abstract. Based on patent data and industry specific energy prices for 18 OECD countries over 30 years we investigate on an industry level the impact of energy prices on green innovation activities. Our econometric models show that energy prices and green innovation activities are positively related and that energy prices have a significantly positive impact on the share of green innovations in non-green innovations. More concretely, our main model shows that a 10% increase of the average energy prices of the previous five years results in a 2.7% and 4.5% increase of the number of green innovations and the share of green innovations in non-green innovations, respectively. We also find that the impact of energy prices increases with an increasing lag between energy prices and innovation activities. Robustness tests confirm the main results.

“…Since the middle of the last century, the influence of government how to use industrial policy means on behavior of micro enterprise became a research emphasis of theoretical system of modern industrial policy. DeFraja and Delbono [8] deeply analyzed the impact of domestic industrial policy on corporate behavior without considering the effects of foreign industrial policy, which provided the analysis framework for mechanism of enterprise behavior of government industrial policy. Fjell and PaI [9] analyzed the impact of industrial policy on the behavior of multinational corporations without considering the effects of trade policies.…”

This article explicitly stated the concept of national value chain and "chain mode innovation" from the two perspectives: first is to organize capable enterprises embedded in the value chain of global industry, and urge them to stretch on both ends of the "smiling curve" to reach a higher level of cooperation, and then catch the leading position of the value chain; second is to construct technology innovation system that matches the development of related industries, cultivate the national prominent value chain of domestic companies, evolve the global value chain to a higher level through the continuous optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure; next is to explain function mechanism of "chain mode innovation" and framework of industrial policy mix, design and simulate the evolution process under the action of the policy, then evaluate the effect of the policy mix. Finally it is concluded that policy mix of "chain mode innovation" has the best effect.
