But unfriendly policies continue to drive firms elsewhere.
What's wrong here is our high and complicated taxes that drive firms to base themselves abroad.
London First claims that even if the mayor did get extra revenue-raising powers, new taxes would merely drive firms overseas.
Bonuses are back in many City dealing-rooms, and the old argument against regulation that it would drive firms away from Britain and impoverish the country—is being heard again.Away from the spotlight, though, another industry is facing its own crisis of confidence in laissez-faire liberalism.
Table 1 foreshadows and summarizes the benefits and costs that are argued to drive firms' tie choice.
Findings of this research strongly imply that government intervention in the form of technology-forcing regulation can drive firms to invest in technological innovation.
As a result, Model (2) predicts the performance implications of divestitures, controlling for the factors that drive firms to undertake those deals in the first place (Model (1)).
Through this study, we show that the business model is critical to inform effective ecodesign decision-making and illustrate how design can drive firms towards sustainable change, from the bottom up.
These characteristics can be used to measure the motivations for divestitures (e.g., does inappropriately-specialized analyst coverage drive firms to undertake divestitures?), to quantify the performance implications of divestitures (e.g., how do divestitures affect the return on equity of the divesting firms?), and to control for heterogeneity in the performance consequences of these deals.
In particular, the proportion of potential workers with time-consistent versus present-biased preferences will drive firms' optimal compensation policy (e.g., Gilpatric 2008), while the distribution of preferences among the unemployed shapes the design of optimal social assistance programs (e.g., Paserman 2008; Spinnewijn 2009).
