The Environmental Performance of Multinationals: Analyzing Differences between Host and Home Countries

May 23 @ 12:00 pm-1:00 pm

Should Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) adopt the same environmental standards when they operate in different countries? While it is assumed that MNEs can take advantage of cross-country differences in environmental regulations by moving production capacity to countries with lax environmental standards to reduce some of their costs, in this paper, we argue that MNEs can benefit from adopting the same environmental standards in all their international operations to improve their productivity, efficiency, and reputation. We will present results based on 128 MNEs with headquarters and subsidiaries based in the USA, Canada, France and Spain.Speaker BiographyAlberto Aragon-Correa is a Full Professor of Management at University of Granada (Spain).
