Environmental technology industry in Germany: Market volume, competitiveness, and development prospects

Jens Horbach
Wirtschaft im Wandel, 1994
Abstract
Seit den siebziger Jahren ist die Nachfrage nach Umweltschutzgütern in den westlichen Industrieländern kräftig gestiegen. Umweltschutzgüter dienen der Erfassung, Vorbeugung, Vermeidung und Verminderung von Umweltbelastungen oder tragen zur Schonung der natürlichen Ressourcen bei (z.B. Abwasserbehandlungsanlagen oder Filter zur Abgasreinigung). Vor allem in Westdeutsch­land haben sich immer mehr Unternehmen der „klassischen" Industriezweige auf die Produktion derartiger Güter spezialisiert. Eine kontinuierliche Beobachtung des Marktes für Umweltschutzgüter anhand amtlicher Statistiken ist allerdings pro­ blematisch, da es sich bei der „Umweltschutzin­dustrie" um eine Querschnittsbranche handelt, die sich vom Maschinenbau bis zum Baugewerbe über sehr unterschiedliche Wirtschaftszweige er­streckt.

Common Lenders and Product Market Competition

Who
Farzad Saidi (Stockholm School of Economics)
Where
IWH conference room

This paper explores how bank concentration affects product market competition of non-financial firms. We argue, and provide evidence, that sharing common lenders lowers the cost of debt financing. This is because common lenders internalize potential adverse effects of higher loan rates on the product market behavior of their borrowers’ competitors.
