The goal of our paper is to shed more light on these potential problems.In the first step,
we theoretically analyze both types of endogeneity.Based on evolutionary theory and
the resource-based view of the firm,we argue that environmental performance such as
technological environmental innovations could actually influence green management.
Firms which already have realized such innovations in the past are more likely to pos-
sess environmental capabilities in having overcome management barriers such as the
lack of finance or know-how at least once before.Furthermore,we argue that unob-
served intangible corporate environmental capabilities could simultaneously influence
green management and green technology.
Contrary to existing studies,we empirically explore in the second step the structural re-
verse hypothesis that corporate environmental performance influences green manage-
ment measures.To test this hypothesis,we apply a unique cross-sectional firm-level
data set from the German manufacturing sector which is already used in the studies of
Ziegler and Rennings (2004) and Rehfeld et al.(2006).These data comprise environ-
mental product and process innovations which we use as measure for environmental
performance.Our econometric analyses with uni- and multivariate probit models imply
a significantly positive effect of environmental process innovations on certified EMS
and a significantly positive impact of environmental product innovations on life cycle
assessment activities.According to this,a positive relationship seems to exist.However,
we consider the significant effects in our study as well as in the other studies analyzing
the impact of green management on environmental performance as influenced by en-
dogeneity problems due to structural reverse causality.We therefore interpret our em-
pirical results as evidence for the ambiguity of the causal relationship between green
management and green technology.
