Governmental regulation impact on producers and consumers: A longitudinal analysis of the European automotive market

Sustainable road transport from the energy and modern society points of view: Perspectives for the automotive industry and production

“…The paper by Wells et al (2013), analyses the issue of whether governmental regulation results in higher producer costs, which then result in higher prices for the consumer. They conducted a longitudinal study of the European automotive market and dealt with features related to energy use and, above all, to the emissions of vehicles with alternative traction or propulsion.…”

Operationalizing Deep Structural Sustainability in Business: Longitudinal Immersion as Extensive Engaged Scholarship

“…In this manner a more critical stance has been taken of, for example, purely technical innovations in powertrain that have emerged in more recent times but which have not sought to be part of a broader challenge to existing concepts of automobility or of the industry model that supports those existing concepts. In turn such insights have supported further engagement and impact in other areas such as carbon emission reduction policies (Brink et al, 2005;Chase et al, 2014;Wells et al, 2013), policies and business models to support electric vehicles and associated infrastructures (ENEVATE, 2013;Hill et al, 2013aHill et al, , 2013bWells, 2010cWells, , 2010dWells, , 2013Wells and Morreau, 2010b;Wells and Nieuwenhuis, 2012), local economic opportunities around electric vehicles (ENEVATE, 2013;Newman, Wells and Nieuwenhuis, 2014;Newman et al, 2014Newman et al, , 2014bWells, 2012), and the interaction between incumbents and new entrants in the industry around technological innovations such as autonomous cars (Steinhilber, Wells and Thankappan, 2013;Wells, 2008c;Wells and Nieuwenhuis, 2012;Wells and Xenias, 2015). These activities have included industry conference events and corporate training workshops (e.g.…”

The Impact of Environmental Regulation on the Upgrading of Urban Industrial Structure: A Quasi-Natural Experiment Based on the Two Control Zones Policy

“…Appropriate environmental regulations can compensate for the increase in pollution control costs by stimulating corporate innovation capabilities, thus enhancing the international competitiveness of enterprises [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. The research results of Wells et al (2013) found that increasing environmental standards can shift the product structure of enterprises towards the mid to high end [18]. Lin and Guan (2020) constructed spatial weight matrices from the perspectives of geographical and economic characteristics, and used the spatial Durbin model to analyze the impact of environmental regulation intensity on regional manufacturing upgrading in 30 provinces and cities in China.…”
