About the Book

John Scott develops, describes and uses primary data about US industrial firms' research and development (R&D) investments to create innovative products and processes that provide goods and services without the by-product of pollution. New knowledge about environmental R&D is provided by original surveys of industry from 1993 and 2001. The R&D and other firm data are juxtaposed with US Census industry data and with US Environmental Protection Agency data about industrial toxic releases. This book presents hypothesis tests that provide evidence supporting the use of public policies described in the book to stimulate industry to use its creative powers to improve environmental performance.

About the Author :
John T. Scott, Professor of Economics, Dartmouth College, US

Review :
'The theoretical and econometrical works presented by the author really brings original and relevant insights on the determinants of environmental R&D and on the role of public regulation.' 'Scott's study is significant . . . for anyone interested in a solid study examining the role of R&D investments and environmental quality, this is well worth the effort.' 'By looking carefully at environmental R&D in industry, John Scott focusses on one of the hard questions in environmental policy - how to shift private investment decisions towards outcomes that are more desirable from the perspective of promoting public goods, in this instance clean air. This is the analytic puzzle that stands at the heart of the challenge of sustainable development. The plausible conclusion is that the promotion of environmental R&D in industry may be one of the most promising avenues of public policy in support of sustainable development.' 'John Scott's imaginative and well-written book makes an important contribution to both the industrial organization and environmental economics literatures. The book contains a nice theoretical development of the hypotheses to be tested, interesting empirical results with a unique data base, and important policy conclusions - in short, something for everyone.'
