  ABSTRACT: The Porter hypothesis asserts that a stricter environmental regulation stimulates firms to conduct innovation and increase their profit. This paper uses a theoretical framework to examine the Porter hypothesis. We conclude that although a stricter environmental regulation can increase profit, it does not stimulate innovation in a firm.
