Abstract	The primary aim of the study was to "gather and analyse evidence on the impact of the design of environmental regulation on competitiveness”. Specifically, it considered three issues: · the productivity impacts of different regulatory designs and to identify what forms of regulation were most likely to stimulate innovation; · the impact of the design and implementation of regulation on SMEs as compared to larger businesses; · the importance of context (i.e. business sectors and/or environmental policy areas) in determining positive economic as well as environmental outcomes from regulation
