在过去十年中，以欧盟为首的发达国家积极采用了旨在保护环境和消费者健康与安全的产品相关环境法规。本研究探讨了欧盟RoHS和REACH对马来西亚和越南企业合规性的影响。第一个分析集中在研究与发展的促进效果的优先考虑。然后，我们认为生产力作为一种实现的创新和研究，如果R&D提高PRER可以促进进一步的生产力。研究结果表明，REACH法规的响应能够激励企业进行R&D。对诱导R&D对企业生产率影响的进一步估计表明，诱导R& D与企业生产率之间存在显著的正相关关系。另一方面，对RoHS的反应与R&D支出之间没有关系。此外，分析还表明，企业遵守RoHS和REACH的方式不同，但只有继续向欧盟出口的能力才能激励遵守。
In the past decade, product-related environmental regulations (PRERs) aimed at environmental protection and consumers’ health and safety were actively introduced in developed countries, led by the EU. This study examined the impact of two PRERs released by the EU—RoHS and REACH—on Malaysian and Vietnamese firms’ compliance. The first analysis focuses on the R&D enhancement effect of PRERs. We then consider productivity as a realization of innovations and examine if the R&D enhanced by PRERs can promote further productivity. The result shows that the response to REACH can create incentives to advance R&D. Further estimations on the effect of induced R&D on firm productivity show a significant positive relationship between them. On the other hand, no relationship between the response to RoHS and R&D expenditure is found. Moreover, the analysis also shows that firms comply with RoHS and REACH in different ways, but just the ability to continue exporting to the EU motivates compliance.
