This article describes and explains why the state of California has long played a leadership role in adopting innovative and stringent environmental standards. It argues that critical roles have been played by the state’s attractive natural environment, the extent of threats to its environmental quality, the material interest of citizens in protecting the natural environmental around where they lived, and the support of business interests who stood to benefit from protecting the state’s many environmental amenities. These dynamics are illustrated by several historical examples, which have laid the basis for the state’s current environmental policy initiatives. It concludes by generalizing from the experiences of California in order to explore the role of politics and public policies in promoting more sustainable business practices.

Accounting Information Systems

The purpose of this study was to examine the business strategy of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), the role of accounting information systems in supporting sustainable business, and the constraints on the use of accounting information systems. This type of research was a case study on Cut Flower SMEs in Wonosobo Regency. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with five informants of SMEs, cut flowers of chrysanthemum and kalili. Data collection techniques used documentation studies and in-depth interviews. The collected data was then analyzed by using data analysis developed by Miles and Huberman. MSME actors set a product differentiation business strategy to increase sales turnover. Here, Accounting information systems had a role for business decision making so that investors could include their capital and customer trust. The obstacle to the implementation of the accounting information system was that there was no clear division of tasks between employees and owners so that all business activities were carried out together. This research contributed to the development of sustainable business theory in order to obtain a model of the existence of SMEs during the pandemic that could be used as material for business decision making.

Identification Strategy

We study the role of vertical differentiation in the adoption of LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design), a multitier environmental building certification system. Our identification strategy relies on the timing of adoption and shows that builders seek to differentiate from each other by choosing a different certification level from previously certified buildings. A common concern in this framework is that mean-reverting behavior could be mistaken for differentiation. We develop a new method for establishing the importance of strategic interactions based on simulating from a model with independent choice and unobserved heterogeneity, and showing that such a model cannot generate the level of interaction that we observe. Finally, we estimate a model that incorporates both differentiation incentives and correlated market-level unobservables and use our estimates from this model to simulate the impact of reducing the number of LEED tiers from four to two. The simulations indicate that environmental investments depend on the location of the threshold between tiers. This paper was accepted by Bruno Cassiman, business strategy.
