Environmental regulation and the location of polluting industries
Does international tax competition in the environmental field lead to undesirably low levels of environmental regulation and to unacceptable disruptions of environmental quality? The paper tries to answer this question in a non-competitive partial-equilibrium framework. There is one firm that wishes to establish a plant in one of n countries. The paper shows that tax competition may lead to emi...
متن کاملEffects of Air Quality Regulations on Polluting Industries
This paper investigates the effects of air quality regulation in the USA on firm decisions concerning plant locations, births, sizes, and investment patterns, in major polluting industries. The intent of the Clean Air Act [CAA] and its Amendments from 1970 on is to induce/coerce plants to limit source emissions that lead to air pollution, so localities meet national air quality standards. In ge...
متن کاملMulticriteria Line Simplification (MCLS) for AEM Groundwater Modeling
Some regional scale environmental simulation models require generalization of high resolution data to obtain an acceptable numerical solution within a reasonable interval of time. This paper evaluates the efficacy of geospatial data reduction for input to a polylinear groundwater model that relies on the vector-based Analytic Element Method (AEM) to represent and simulate a groundwater system. ...
متن کاملSpatial Multicriteria Decision Making
DEFINITION Multicriteria analysis is generally defined as “a decision-aid and a mathematical tool allowing the comparison of different alternatives or scenarios according to many criteria, often conflicting, in order to guide the decision maker towards a judicious choice” [12]. The set of decision alternatives considered in a given problem is often denoted by A and called the set of potential a...
