Does Environmental Protection Lead to Slower Productivity Growth in the Chemical Industry? Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Bruce Domazlicky
William Weber ()
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
Efficiency and productivity growth is measured at the three-digit SIC level for six chemical industries for 1988–1993. The directional distance function is used to measure the lost chemical manufacturing output and the overproduction of toxic chemical releases. Total factor productivity growth is decomposed into a product of efficiency change and technical change. Accounting for toxic chemical releases, productivity grows at anannual rate of between 2.4% and 6.9%. We find no evidence that environmental protection measures reduce productivity growth.
