The Porter Hypothesis Revisited: A Literature Review of Theoretical Models and Empirical Tests (2004, background): “Concerning empirical work, the consensus emerging (Portney 2002 quoted in Anonymous 2002) is that the negative macroeconomic impact of environmental regulation is likely small, since the latter empirically leads to both, increasing or decreasing employment (see e.g. Rennings et al. 2001; Morgenstern”
Environmental policies and productivity growth: a critical review of empirical findings (2015, background): “Similarly, industry-level analysis will also miss the costs of labour substitution or movement from one plant to another, when total industry employment remains stable (Morgenstern et al., 2002).”
The Impacts of Environmental Regulations on Competitiveness (2017, methodology): “Using PACE as a proxy for environmental stringency, Morgenstern, Pizer, and Shih (2002) find that stricter environmental regulation generally does not have a statistically significant effect on employment.”
Do EPA regulations affect labor demand? Evidence from the pulp and paper industry (2013, background): “It is also possible for pollution abatement technologies to be labor enhancing [see Berman and Bui (2001a) and Morgenstern et al (2002)].”
Environmental Regulation and Green Skills: An Empirical Exploration (2018, background): “Environmental Regulation and Green Skills Vona et al. 715 stone 2002; Morgenstern et al. 2002), but recent studies such as Kahn and Mansur (2013) suggest the possibility of larger effects, particularly in energy-intensive industries.”
Trade unions and climate change : The jobs versus environment dilemma (2011, background): “The little research evidence there is would seem to suggest that the impact of environmental regulation on jobs is marginal, and in some cases may be positive (Morgenstern et al., 2002; Bezdek et al., 2008).”
Environmental regulations and innovation activity in UK manufacturing industries (2012, background): “Measuring regulatory costs in terms of pollution abatement expenditure is the standard approach of a wide range of empirical environmental economics literature, which includes studies of the impact of environmental regulations on trade, foreign direct investment or competitiveness (e.g. Levinson and”
Do Green Jobs Differ from Non-Green Jobs in Terms of Skills and Human Capital? (2016, background): “…some works report job losses (e.g. Henderson, 1996; Khan, 1997; Greenstone, 2002), others find no significant impact (e.g. Berman and Bui, 2001; Morgenstern et al, 2002; Cole and Elliott, 2007) while others conclude that environmental regulation triggers job creation (Bezdek et al, 2008).”
