报告题目: Quantifying Pollution Haven: an Existing Effect but an Unsupported Hypothesis

摘要:We develop a full-fledged general equilibrium trade model with pollution as a by-product of production to study the interaction between international trade and pollution emissions. Our quantitative evaluation based on the model suggests that even in the presence of support for the existence of the pollution haven effect, the pollution haven hypothesis is still unsupported. The reason is that environmental policy stringency, being a crucial determinant of pollution emissions and abatement, is relatively weak in determining international specialization. By comparing environmental policy stringency with other comparative advantage forces one by one, we identify productivity and trade costs to be the major forces that suppress the pollution haven effect, which leads to the failure of the pollution haven hypothesis. In addition, a reduction in trade costs would induce more worldwide pollution.
