Description
Dinh Duc Truong asked firms in Vietnam a plain question. When green rules press, who spends on clean kit? He used a World Bank survey of firms in the land. He weighed the press of rules, firm traits, and how hard each firm found it to raise cash. The sums let the press and the cash squeeze meet and clash.
Rules did push firms to spend green, but not by much. Tight cash cut green spends on its own. It also dulled the push of rules to near nil for the most squeezed firms. Truong says rules need cheap loans at their side to work at scale.
