ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the industrial coping activities for the greenhouse gas reduction and their determinants focusing on the effects of a voluntary agreement for energy reduction and the industrial characteristics based on the interview data of 224 establishments in the Ulsan region. A two stage sample selection treatment effect model is applied in this analysis. The major findings are as follows: First, the index of the greenhouse gas reduction activities is estimated significantly higher in the establishments with the voluntary agreement for energy reduction. Second, the petro-chemical and metal-finishing industries show the significantly higher indices and the higher participation probability for the voluntary agreement, while the auto and shipbuilding industries, which are the strategic industries in the Ulsan region, are very inactive to cope with the greenhouse gas reduction. Finally, the index of the greenhouse gas reduction activities tends to grow with the amount of sale of the establishments, but the indexes of the establishments with the sale size of 100~500billion KRW are lower than those with the sale size of 50~100billion KRW.
