This study examines in three case studies whether German plants
suffer from a negative impact on competitiveness caused by
stringent environmental legislation. A micro level analysis showed
that abatement initiatives had in general been implemented without
economic damage and did not touch on the core business. Moreover,
German sample plants ranked environmental pressure as relatively
unimportant compared with other competitive pressures. Finally, the
low absolute levels of compliance costs, at least in two of the
case studies, explained why environmental regulation cannot have a
great influence on competitiveness in the chosen sectors. High
productivity levels were not among the essential factors explaining
our findings. It implies for our case studies that also plants with
lower productivity can withstand high compliance costs.
