The Pollution Haven Hypothesis: Signicance and Insignicance
Theory and intuition tell us that the imposition of stringent environmental policies by a given country will reduce its net exports of commodities produced using pollution-intensive industries.

متن کاملAssessing the Pollution Haven Hypothesis in an Interdependent World
After proposing a simple theoretical framework to illustrate the importance of third-country e ects in empirical studies of the Pollution Haven Hypothesis, we test the model using statelevel panel data on inbound US FDI and relative abatement costs. Our analysis reveals that while own state attributes rarely have statistically signi cant e ects on own inbound FDI when aggregated over all manufa...

This paper presents evidence on whether multinationals are flocking to developing country "pollution havens".

This paper uses both theory and empirical work to examine the effect of environmental regulations on trade flows. We develop a simple economic model to demonstrate how unobserved heterogeneity, endogeneity and aggregation issues bias measurements of the relationship between regulatory costs and trade. We estimate a reduced-form of the model using data on U.S. regulations and net trade flows amo...

At the international level, where different countries...
