摘要：

The passage of environmental legislation was accompanied by concerns about its potential detrimental effect on productivity. We assume inputs can be assigned to either abatement activities or good output production. This allows us to specify regulated and unregulated production frontiers to determine the association between pollution abatement and productivity growth. We then employ our "assigned input" model to determine the association between productivity and abatement activities for manufacturing industries in Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and the United States.
