摘要
Under incomplete environmental enforcement, the high-cost (less efficient) firm may strategically violate the environmental standard, causing the low-cost (more efficient) firm to exit the market—a phenomenon similar to Gresham’s law in which bad money drives out good money. Tightening environmental regulation without increasing probability and penalties helps the high-cost firm to drive the low-cost firm out of the market. This explains why serious pollution and inefficient production co-exist in developing economies.
