This document discusses the Porter Hypothesis, which proposes that strict but flexible environmental regulations can spur innovation that leads to improved business performance and environmental outcomes. It provides an overview of developments in the theory, empirical evidence, and policies to enhance competitiveness. Key areas for further research are identified, such as the need for more longitudinal and global studies to better understand how regulatory and non-regulatory policies interact over time in different contexts.

Editor's Notes
- NOTE: There are so many papers & authors (many of whom are in this room – including ourselves) - - so we are not going to attempt to identify any of them. The Chairs Paper contains many of these citations - - and you are encouraged to suggest additions as we edit the chairs paper and find a suitable publication home.
- Note: Weak Version versus “Strong Version”
- NOTE: Stefan will address the criticisms in his discussion of Theory
- Note two things: The findings on business performance did not separate out based on type of instrument used The findings on business performance did not look at a time lag to allow for innovation to occur and affect production (some studies find this important)
- NOTE:
