• Environmental policies and productivity growth: a critical review of empirical findings (2015, unknown): “(2012) account for plant closure while Becker (2011) and, to a lesser extent Gray and Shadbegian (2003), explicitly control for some firm characteristics that may drive productivity.”
• Effects of local and civil environmental regulation on green total factor productivity in China: A spatial Durbin econometric analysis (2017, unknown): “(1) Becker (2011) examined effects on plants in all manufacturing industries, not just those in ‘dirty’ industries, and found that no statistically significant effect on productivity in a county with higher environmental compliance costs.”
