This book takes a fresh look at this question through three case studies of highly regulated polluting industries in the Southern California region: metal finishing, wood furniture, and dry cleaning. The case studies are based on a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, including in-depth interviews with corporate managers and environmental regulators. The authors find that there is no universal pattern for predicting the effects of environmental regulations on industrial competitiveness, but that the outcomes depend on the structure of the industry being regulated, the design of the regulations, and the technologies that are available for compliance. The book is written in straight forward language that is accessible to the non-economist and will prove an essential resource for academics and students of all levels, and professionals and policy makers in the fields of environmental policy and regional economic development. 001461549 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 14, 2023). 001461549 650_0 $$aEnvironmental protection$$xEconomic aspects$$zCalifornia, Southern. 001461549 650_0 $$aEnvironmental policy$$zCalifornia, Southern. 001461549 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001461549 7001_ $$aOng, Paul M. 001461549 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aThomas, Ward$$tEnvironmental Regulations and Industrial Competitiveness$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023$$z9783031263750 001461549 830_0 $$aEnvironment & policy ;$$vv. 62. 001461549 852__ $$bebk 001461549 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-26376-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001461549 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1461549$$pGLOBAL_SET 001461549 980__ $$aBIB 001461549 980__ $$aEBOOK 001461549 982__ $$aEbook 001461549 983__ $$aOnline 001461549 994__ $$a92$$bISE
