We use theory and empirics to examine the effect of environmental regulations on trade flows. A simple model demonstrates how unobserved heterogeneity, endogeneity, and aggregation issues bias standard measurements of this relationship. A reduced-form estimate of the model, using data on U.S. regulations and trade with Canada and Mexico for 130 manufacturing industries from 1977 to 1986, indica...

In an increasingly integrated world, falling trade barriers mean that the role environmental regulations play in shaping a country’s comparative advantage is greater than ever. This has lead to fears that “dirty” industries will relocate to developing regions where environmental regulations may be less stringent. A number of reasons have been offered to explain why, despite anecdotal evidence a...

There has been considerable controversy over the empirical significance of the theoretically predicted pollution haven hypothesis. Generally, empirical papers have failed to find an effect on industrial location of weaker or stricter environmental regulations. In this paper we find strong confirmation of theoretical predictions. We present a statistical test of the impact of environmental regul...

Government regulations to address technological risks are important for the successful development and application of nanotechnology, but there is an ongoing debate in the USA about who is responsible for the regulation of nanotechnology. In a mail survey of leading US nano-scientists, we examine scientists’ perceptions about nano-regulation, including the government level (local, national, or ...

In a stylized model of international trade, firms in the North indirectly export second-hand products to a representative firm in the South to be reused as intermediate goods, with potential trade gains. The degree of reusability of waste products is a crucial choice variable in the North. This is because with a lack of international vigilance, non-reusable waste can be mixed illegally with the...

The effects of corruption and income on environmental degradation is well established in the literature. However, little attention has been given to how control affects quality at different levels income. This study examines interaction effect Africa over period from 1996 2017. Using a Method Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR) with fixed effects, results revealed that both level increase CO2 em...

With economic development, air pollution is becoming increasingly serious, which affects the sustainable development of global economy. In order to explore policy measures curb pollution, this paper selects data from 30 regions in China and explores their impact studies on perspectives environmental regulation foreign direct investment using a systematic GMM model. Then, threshold effect model ...
