“…However, China's environmental regulations are more dependent on administrative measures, and they ignore the importance of the market mechanism. Therefore, the Chinese government should encourage SEs to improve the technologies of product innovation through market‐based policies (such as implementing favorable taxation measures; Franco & Marin, 2017). Such measures will ultimately achieve “the survival of the fittest”.…”

Due to the serious increase of environmental pollution in China, environmental regulations have become significantly stringent. Such regulations are playing an increasingly important role in the development of small enterprises (SEs) in China, especially in SEs' market entry. However, existing studies pay little attention to this issue. This paper investigates for the first time the effect of environmental regulations on SEs' market entry and the mechanism of environmental regulation effects in China. We consider two sets of panel data for the periods 2003–2010 and 2012–2015 in China. We also use the fixed effect model and the instrumental variable method to explore the role of environmental regulations in SEs' market entry. The results show that, overall, environmental regulations play a significantly positive and robust role in SEs' market entry. However, the mechanisms associated with the effect of environmental regulations on different innovative types of SEs differ. Environmental regulations promote the market entry of SEs with product innovation, but this impact is not significant for SEs with research and development (R&D) activities and R&D institutions. Our findings indicate that China's SEs prefer product innovation, which is a lower level innovative type, over R&D innovation, as a means to avoid the negative impact of stringent environmental regulations.

“…It is environmentally related tax revenue -ERTAX (in % of GDP) because the stringency of environmental taxes is seen as relevant driver of firms´ as well as countries´ innovation and productivity (see e.g. Franco & Marin, 2017). Two modeling approaches have been used in this cross-country analysis.…”

Sustainability in innovation activities financing is undoubtedly one of the important requirements that determine the business environment in all developed countries of the world. Different countries apply different innovation models or policies, ways to support or finance their entrepreneurial innovation activities respectively. They significantly shape or cultivate an innovative environment in which different relationships and linkages between actors take place. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze individual determinants, their sustainability, and their efficiency in view of the expected outcomes – environmentally adjusted multifactor productivity growth. We used data from the OECD statistics 2009-2013 for all developed countries in the world. We used DEA (data envelopment analysis) and super-efficiency-DEA method for our international comparative study. Our results show that the developed countries use the combination of private and public financial sources in different way. These are countries that can be perceived as a benchmark - it is therefore possible to compare even partial values of indicators and define public policies for support of selected entrepreneurs. The DEA software also allows you to obtain a numerical benchmark of inputs and outputs for every country. Our finding contributes to the theoretical debate on innovation and eco-innovation models in framework of sustainable development. The results of the analysis confirm the importance of financial sources, human resources and sustainable public sector interventions that influence the environmentally adjusted productivity growth.

“…(Greaker and Rosendahl, 2008;Simcoe and Toffel, 2014;Liu et al, 2016). Li and Ouyang (2020) noted that green production technology can be roughly divided into three categories: knowledge stock based on patents, technology absorptive capacity measured by foreign direct investment (FDI) and independent innovation represented by R&D. Among these categories, the number of patents is closely related to environmental policy (Hall and Helmers, 2011;Rubashkina et al, 2015;Franco and Marin, 2017;Albrizio,2017).…”

To address the problem of air pollution caused by industrialization and urbanization, China has issued various types of policies related to environmental protection. However, policies regarding environmental information disclosure have long-term advantages in reducing information asymmetry and improving regulatory efficiency, and are selected as the research objects of this paper. Using the "Environmental Information Disclosure Measures (Trial)" in 2008 as a quasi-natural experiment, our analysis utilizing the difference-in-differences method shows that (1) as the quality of environmental information disclosure increase, the production and emission of sulfur dioxide decrease, and this relationship is robust to different specifications; (2) a possible channel composed of green patents and the pollution source information and treatment information (PITI) disclosure index has a same-direction moderating effect on the reduction of pollutants; and (3) our findings are particularly pronounced in subsamples of large-scale and resource-intensive cities. Overall, this paper reveals micro evidence on the effects of environmental information disclosure policy on the reduction of pollutants, thus providing timely insights for the further improvement and implementation of the policy.
