本文提供了关于环境创新的决定因素的新证据。我们采用面板数据模型来研究 1983 年至 1992 年间美国制造业的环境创新如何应对污染减排支出和监管执法的变化。我们发现，(1) 环境创新（以成功授予该行业的环境专利申请数量来衡量）对污染减排支出的增加做出了反应，然而，(2) 与现有法规相关的监测和执法活动的增加并没有 提供任何额外的创新激励。我们还发现一些经验证据表明，环境创新更有可能发生在具有国际竞争力的行业中。 (C) 2003 年爱思唯尔科学（美国）。版权所有。
This paper provides new evidence on the determinants of environmental innovation. We employ panel data models to study how environmental innovation by US manufacturing industries responded to changes in pollution abatement expenditures and regulatory enforcement during the period 1983 through 1992. We find that (1) environmental innovation (as measured by the number of successful environmental patent applications granted to the industry) responded to increases in pollution abatement expenditures, however, (2) increased monitoring and enforcement activities related to existing regulations did not provide any additional incentive to innovate. We also find some empirical evidence that environmental innovation is more likely to occur in industries that are internationally competitive. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
