Environmental Regulation and French Firms Location Abroad: An Economic Geography Model in an International Comparative Study (2012, unknown): “Similarly, empirical results of List et al. (2003a) from models using both parametric and semi-nonparametric specifications on U.S. county level panel data show that air quality regulations influence the destination choice of relocating plants.”
The Impacts of Environmental Regulations on Competitiveness (2017, methodology): “…relative to an “attainment” county, being a strictly regulated “nonattainment” county decreases the inflow of relocating plants by nearly 63 percent (List et al. 2003) and decreases the expected inflow of new dirty plants by 44–61 percent or 150–600 percent, depending on the estimator used…”
Gaming in Air Pollution Data? Lessons from China (2012, unknown): “To be fair, the central government is aware of the problem and has 1 Among others, Henderson (1996), Becker and Henderson (2000), Greenstone (2002), and List et al. (2003) examine the effects of environmental regulations on firm entry, exit, and size change in the US.”
The Case of the Missing Pollution Haven Hypothesis (2004, methodology): “However, as noted in List et al. (2003), it is weaker than the identifying assumptions utilized in the past (e.g., Henderson (1996) assumes ozone attainment status is strictly exogenous conditional on a subset of the attributes in Z0).”
Voluntary Environmental Regulation in Developing Countries: Mexico’s Clean Industry Program (2010, background): “Matching controls for nonrandom selection into the program (Rosenbaum and Rubin 1983; Ferraro et al. 2007; List et al. 2003; Dehejia and Wahba 2002).”
Does FDI Promote MENA Region's Environment Quality? Pollution Halo or Pollution Haven Hypothesis (2013, background): “Works of Greenstone (2002) and List et al. (2003) confirm this negative effect of stringent environmental regulation on plan location.”
Does the Porter Hypothesis Explain Expected Future Financial Performance? The Effect of Clean Water Regulation on Chemical Manufacturing Firms (2010, background): “One set assesses the effect of environmental regulation on firms’ competitiveness, innovation activities, employment, or productivity (Jaffe et al. 1995; Jaffe and Palmer 1997; Popp 2006; Berman and Bui 2001a,b; Greenstone 2002; Managi et al. 2005).”
Does eco-certification have environmental benefits? Organic coffee in Costa Rica (2012, background): “That is, following Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983) and more recently Blackman et al. (2010), List et al. (2003), and Dehejia and Wahba (2002), we construct a matched control sample of uncertified farms that are very similar to the certified farms in terms of observable characteristics.”
