本文分析了在不完全竞争条件下，企业在国际市场上承担环境企业社会责任的动机。我们发现，在没有环境税的情况下，企业不会采用ECSR。然而，政府环境税的实施鼓励企业在受到局部损害的情况下采用ECSR。如果企业决定对环境负责，消费者、生产商和环保主义者的境况会比他们决定不做的好。我们还发现，采用ECSR的决定取决于越境污染。在全球损害下，只有在高度关注环境的情况下，公司才会参与ECSR。这意味着跨界污染的存在对企业保护环境的动机产生了负面影响。最后，我们发现，当政府合作确定其环境税时，企业在局部和全球损害下都参与了ECSR。因此，在全球损害下，当政府在环境政策上合作时，企业比不合作时有更大的动机去做环境友好型企业。
This paper analyzes firms' incentives to engage in environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR) in an international market under imperfect competition. We find that in the absence of environmental taxes firms do not adopt ECSR. However, the implementation of environmental taxes by governments encourages firms to adopt ECSR under local damage. Consumers, producers, and environmentalists are better off if firms decide to be environmentally responsible than if they decide not to. We also find that the decision to adopt ECSR depends on transboundary pollution. Under global damage firms engage in ECSR only if they are highly concerned about the environment. This means that the existence of transboundary pollution negatively affects the incentives of firms to be environmentally friendly. Finally, we find that when governments cooperatively determine their envi-ronmental taxes, firms engage in ECSR under both local and global damage. Thus, under global damage firms have greater incentives to be environmentally friendly when governments cooperate on environmental policies than when they do not.
