In my research I investigate how innovation and technological change play a role in a firm's production decisions and analyze the impact of the firm's involvement in international trade on its product mix, productivity, cost structure and innovation. In addition, I examine environmentally friendly technical changes that alleviate a firm's existing polluting activities and analyze the effect of corporate social responsibility on shareholder wealth. Finally, I investigate policy instruments that lead to better outcomes for both the environment and producers.
