遵守环境方案的理由之一是，公司希望树立一个环境友好的形象，因为这将对它们的销售产生积极影响，并最终对它们的市场份额产生积极影响。本文试图测试的效果，环境友好的合规行为使用的数据，从一个可交易的排放计划，目前正在运行的洛杉矶。很大一部分公司遵守环境法规。为了研究这种合规行为的原因，创建了代表企业环境友好特征的变量。这些变量是：企业与最终消费者的距离有多近，以及企业是否雇用了一名管理人员来负责其环境政策。在所有的公司特征中，公司的资本水平被认为是解释不遵守的重要因素。与预期相反，环境友好变量没有显着的解释力。因此，在这种污染预防方案中，需要重新考虑环境意识作为遵守情况的一个解释变量。
One of the reasons given for compliance with environmental programmes is that firms want to project an environmentally friendly image, as this would have a positive effect on their sales and eventually on their market share. This paper tries to test the effect of environmental friendliness on compliance behaviour using data from a tradable emissions programme currently running in Los Angeles. A large fraction of the firms comply with the environmental regulations. To study the reasons for this compliance behaviour, variables are created that represent the environmentally friendly characteristics of the firms. These variables are: how close the firm is to the final consumer and whether the firm has employed a manager to look after its environmental policies. Of all the firm characteristics, the capital level of the firm is seen to be significant in explaining non-compliance. Contrary to expectations, the environmental friendliness variables do not have significant explanatory power. Environmental consciousness as an explanatory variable for compliance therefore needs to be reconsidered in this kind of a pollution prevention programme.
