Abstract：The Porter Hypothesis (PH) posits that well-designed environmental regulations can stimulate innovation, which may lead to e?ciency gains or even pro?t increase for the regulated ?rms. Extant theoretical works examining the PH neglect two important aspects in their models and analyses: ?rm heterogeneity and general equilibrium. In this study, we revisit the PH by incorporating these two features in our model and analysis. We show that the PH holds for high-capability ?rms, but not for low-capability ?rms. Although heterogeneous responses exist in innovation investment, the average industry productivity increases.
