| Tiivistelmä: | Michael Porter introduces the idea that environmental regulations may benefit affected firms. The paper derives results consistent with Porter's hypothesis by employing a general equilibrium framework with a large number of agents, external economies of scale in production, and discrete changes in technology. The model shows that endogenous technical change makes Porter's hypothesis feasible. However, a policy that produces results consistent with Porter's hypothesis is not necessarily optimal. |
