Is environmental innovation embedded within high-performance organisational changes? The role of human resource management and complementarity in green business strategies (2013, background): “Among others, we can quote Cole et al. (2008) and Bloom et al. (2010).”
The New Empirical Economics of Management (2014, unknown): “Preliminary results from MOPs are contained in Bloom et al. (2012). In MOPS, as with the WMS, we scored highly those responses indicating heavy data collection and monitoring, extensive and stretching targets, and aggressive performance incentives.”
Population density and efficiency in energy consumption: An empirical analysis of service establishments (2012, background): “3 Bloom et al. (2010), based on data for manufacturing establishments in the UK, indicate that establishments in firms that are better managed are significantly less energy intensive and that the effect is quantitatively large.”
The Impact of Management Practices on Employee Productivity: A Field Experiment with Airline Captains (2019, background): “…of energy-efficient technologies in the residential sector (Gillingham and Palmer, 2014); research of this kind remains to be conducted in commercial sectors despite existing evidence of a correlation between management and firm-level emissions (see Bloom et al., 2010; Martin et al., 2012).”
Do credit constraints favor dirty production? Theory and plant-level evidence (2017, background): “Moreover, improved management is associated with lower energy intensity (Bloom et al., 2010).”
JEEA‐FBBVA LECTURE 2013: THE NEW EMPIRICAL ECONOMICS OF MANAGEMENT (2014, unknown): “Measures of work–life balance and family friendly policies are positively correlated with the WMS management measures (Bloom, Kretchmer, and Van Reenen 2011b), as are measures of energy efficiency (Bloom et al. 2010a).”
Product Standards and Margins of Trade: Firm Level Evidence (2015, unknown): “Our data do not allow us to say why larger ﬁrms are less affected by new restrictive SPS measures, but our results suggest that they can more easily overcome the ﬁxed or variable cost of an SPS measure, as suggested by theory (Bloom et al. (2010).”
Policy-Induced Environmental Technology and Inventive Efforts: Is There a Crowding Out? (2015, background): “Bloom et al. (2010), for instance, suggest that better managed firms are less energy intensive.”
Exploring the determinants and long-term performance outcomes of corporate carbon strategies (2017, background): “However, most studies provide evidence for a positive relationship between proactive strategies and carbon performance (e.g. Bloom et al., 2010; Tang and Luo, 2014; Zhang et al., 2012).”
Corporate Governance and Green Innovation (2016, unknown): “Yet, as some have acknowledged (Bloom et al. 2010), it has been difficult to tease out the causal direction in the relationship between organizational structures and environmental activities.”
