采用ISO14001的决定因素被认为可分为两类：来自环境导向的利益相关者或客户的外部压力;由于预期的未来利益而产生的内部需求。本文通过考察企业的生产率、资本密集度与企业采纳决策之间的相互关系，进一步阐述了企业采纳的机制。应用一般均衡模型，我们表明，在最优条件下，高生产率的公司可以从采用中受益更多。同时，技术进步可能会提高企业的资本密集度，这一因素也会对企业采用技术的动机产生积极影响。使用越南企业层面数据的实证实践验证了我们的预测的稳健性。此外，我们发现上述现象在制造业中变得更加明显。
The determinants of ISO14001 adoption have been considered to fall into two categories: the external pressure from environment-oriented stakeholders or customers; the internal need due to expected future benefits. In this paper we take a step further to elaborate on the mechanism of firms’ adoption by investigating the interrelationship among firms’ productivity, capital intensity and the decision-making of the adoption. Applying a general equilibrium model, we show that under optimal condition, highly productive firms can benefit more from the adoption. In the meantime technology advancement potentially drives up the capital intensity of the firms, and this factor will positively affect firms’ incentive of adoption as well. The empirical practice using the firm-level data in Vietnam verifies our predictions with robustness. In addition, we find that the phenomenon outlined above becomes even more obvious in the manufacturing sectors.
