DESCRIPTION:This study explores the effect of information-based environmen
 tal regulation\, which requires companies to record and publicly report th
 eir pollutant emissions\, on companies’ financial outcomes\, e.g.\, prof
 its. Specifically\, the study derives theoretically hypotheses specific to
  information-based regulation\, drawing upon standard economic theory\, wh
 ich posits that any environmental regulation undermines financial outcomes
 \, and the Porter Theory\, which posits that environmental regulation may 
 improve financial outcomes. The study then tests empirically these hypothe
 ses in the context of European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-
 PRTR) regulation using data on German manufacturing facilities\, which are
  available from the Mannheim Innovation Panel (MIP) database.
