Technology, Management, and Input Choices to Increase Abatement and Output
研究化工企业如何通过技术和管理策略选择影响投入使用、产出和减排效果，发现两种策略的驱动因素不同且存在替代关系，对政策制定有参考价值。
A firm’s environmental performance and productivity result from decisions regarding input use and technological and management abatement strategy. Using a sample of chemical using/manufacturing/emitting facilities, this article examines how these choices are made and their effects on output and abatement. Not only are technological and management strategy adoption driven by different motives, adopting a management system discourages technological strategy adoption in the succeeding period. Further, dirty input use falls with technological strategy adoption but increases with management strategy adoption. These relationships require a more judicious approach to balancing the promotion of technological and management strategies vis-à-vis dirty input choices.
