Unmasking the Pollution Haven Effect
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...
متن کاملUnmasking the Pollution Haven Effect∗ by Arik Levinson
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...
متن کاملA Test for the Pollution Haven Effect in the Selected EU-Asian Countries
The pursuit of sustainable development requires balancing the objectives of FDI, Trade, economic growth and environmental protection. Achieving a balance between these often-conflicting priorities is difficult enough at the national level, where competing interests are at least grounded in a common environmental, social and economic context. At the international level, where different countries...
متن کاملThe 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. It is therefore surprising that many empirical studies of international commodity trade have failed to nd evidence of this e¤ect. This study o¤ers a new, highly focused test of the pollution haven hypot...
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...
