Paloma Lopez-Garcia, ECB
18 Apr, 14:30 - 16:00You are kindly invited to the next Joint Firm Analysis Seminar of the NBB, KUL, UA, UCL, UGent, UHasselt, ULB, ULg and UMons
Given by Paloma Lopez-Garcia (ECB)
on Environmental regulation and productivity
on Thursday, 18 April at 15.00 in in the Auditorium of the National Bank of Belgium (Room A), rue Montagne aux Herbes potagères 61, 1000 Brussels.
Paloma Lopez-Garcia will present two related papers: “Environmental regulation and productivity growth in the euro area: testing the Porter hypothesis” and “The impact of Environmental Regulation on Clean Innovation: Are There Crowding Out Effects?” (forthcoming and attached). Both papers analyse the impact of changes in environmental regulations on firm productivity growth and green innovation, proxied by green patents.
Abstract:
We exploit several data sources and measure the stringency of transition policies with the OECD environmental policy stringency index. By using panel local projections, we estimate the regulatory impact over a five-year horizon. The identification of causal impacts of regulatory changes is achieved by the estimation of firms’ CO2 emissions via a machine learning algorithm. We find that policy tightening affects high polluters’ productivity negatively and to a larger extent than their less-polluting peers. However, patents for green technology also increase significantly so we expect productivity growth to pick up over the longer term.
Paloma will be present at the bank on 18 April and there are several slots for a meeting with her. Please contact us at nbbfirmanalysis.seminar@nbb.be if you are interested. This is not just a polite phrase; we very much invite you or any of your colleagues to make use of this opportunity.
Whilst we encourage your physical presence, we also offer the possibility to follow the seminar online via Teams. Please send an email to nbbfirmanalysis.seminar@nbb.be to obtain the link.
For those who attend physically, we emphasize that due to security reasons, you need to register by email to nbbfirmanalysis.seminar@nbb.be before Wednesday 17 April at 4:00 pm if you plan to attend the seminar. Without registration, you will not be allowed in the seminar room. You will receive a nominative badge at the entrance.
