The literature on within-firm organizational change and productivity suggests that firms can make more efficient use of certain technologies if complementary forms of organization are adopted. This issue may be of even greater importance for the case of greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement...

The literature on within-firm organizational change and productivity suggests that firms can make more efficient use of certain technologies if complementary forms of organization are adopted. This issue may be of even greater importance for the case of greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement...

The extant literature has paid scant theoretical attention to the tripartite interaction between increasing environmental regulations, the resulting decision by a polluting firm to upgrade its capital stock, and the impact of innovation on this capital stock improvement decision. Hence, we...
