Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This book provides a rigorous economic and political‑economy analysis of “corporate environmentalism” — environmentally friendly actions taken by firms even when not required by law. Lyon and Maxwell explore how corporations may adopt voluntary environmental initiatives to preempt or influence future regulation, shape policy outcomes, and manage political and social pressures. Using game‑theoretic and strategic models plus case studies from the US, Europe, and Japan, the book evaluates when such voluntary approaches can improve social welfare, and how they interact with government policy, regulation, and enforcement — offering valuable insights for policymakers, business strategists, and scholars interested in environmental governance and corporate behaviour
