In this study, based on the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework, we empirically examine the effects of trade openness and the level of economic development on pollution emission across the Chinese provinces. Our regression analysis shows that increasing trade openness contributes to higher pollution emission, where the effect of the former may be realized through its impacts on total fa...

The US has been a global leader in regulating local air pollution and laggard greenhouse gases (GHGs). For decades, critics of policy have expressed fears that stringent regulations on would lead to havens overseas. Prior research, suggests not happened. But what about the converse fear? Are less climate causing become haven for other countries’ GHG-intensive industries? We provide decompositio...
