Firm Internal Network, Environmental Regulation, and Plant Death
Cui, Jingbo - 2018
This paper examines the role of a firm's internal network in determining plant shutdown decisions in response to environmental regulations. Using unique plant-level data for U.S. manufacturing industries from 1990 to 2008, we find evidence that, in response to increasingly stringent...
