The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the stringency of NOx regulation and environmental technological change in the EU and US glass industry. A time series of patents on NOx primary reduction measures, including oxy‐fuel technology drawn from the international patent class ‘glass melting furnaces’, serves as an indicator of technological change. A qualitative analysis...
Porter Hypothesis points that proper environmental regulation can promote technical innovation. In order to verify the applicability of Porter Hypothesis in China, this paper uses China provincial panel data from 1999 to 2007 to make empirical study on the relation between environmental regulation and technical innovation. The results reveal that the relation is significantly positive. When the degree...
