THE MICROECONOMICS OF ENVIRONMENTAL INNOVATION IN THE EUROPEAN PACKAGING INDUSTRY

The research work that made this essay possible was carried under the scientific supervision of Sebastiano Brusco. Data input was shared among myself, Federica Tagliazucchi, Giuseppe Di Lena and Donata Maccelli. The econometric estimation rested entirely on Raffaele Miniaci's broad shoulders; German interviews were carried out by Sabine Geissler. I am deeply indebted to Jim Skea for discussion, to Paolo Bertossi for encouragement and helpful comments, and to David Ulph for asking the right questions.
