Incentives for Environmental Self-Regulation and Implications for Environmental Performance (2004, background): “Within the empirical literature on environmental self-regulation there are many studies examining the motivations for firms to participate in voluntary programs established by the regulatory agency, such as the 33/50 program (e.g. Videras and Alberini, 2000; Khanna and Damon, 1999; Arora and Cason, ”
Voluntary agreements to improve environmental quality: symbolic and substantive cooperation (2009, result): “In contrast, other studies show that firms with lower environmental performance are more likely to undertake voluntary activities, largely because they are under more pressure to do so (Konar and Cohen, 1997; Videras and Alberini, 2000).”
Corporate Environmental Management: Regulatory and Market-Based Incentives (2002, background): “…that firms more exposed to consumer pressure or those producing final goods and in industries with larger advertising expenditures, were more likely to participate in the 33/50 Program (Arora and Cason 1996; Khanna and Damon 1999), in WasteWise and in Green Lights (Videras and Alberini 2000).”
Marketing strategies in the age of sustainable development: Evidence from the food industry (2009, background): “In addition, it is assumed, that the public exposure or visibility of companies has an infl uence on sustainability marketing (Videras and Alberini, 2000; Arora and Cason, 1996).”

Voluntary Environmental Regulation in Developing Countries: Mexico’s Clean Industry Program (2010, result): “As for research on other public voluntary programs, Videras and Alberini (2000) find that firms named as potentially responsible parties at a higher-than-average number of Superfund sites were more likely to participate in EPA’s Waste Wi$e and Green Lights programs.”
Preventing horticultural introductions of invasive plants: potential efficacy of voluntary initiatives (2007, unknown): “…and high public visibility of the horticulture trade also increase the potential for self-regulation within this industry, as these characteristics can increase business benefits associated with cultivating an environmentally responsible business image (Videras and Alberini 2000; Khanna 2001).”
