The Pollution Haven Hypothesis
Introduction
This special issue is edited by Don Fullerton of the University of Texas and refereed as any other issue of our journals. Do polluter location decisions respond to pollution policies, and do jurisdictions adopt weak environmental regulations to attract industry and jobs? Does trade liberalization affect the incentives of governments to regulate dirty industries? How does the analysis of trade and trade policy vary if pollution is local, regional, or global, and how should regional and global institutions respond? These are just some of the questions addressed in this special issue. A print copy of this material is now available. For details, please see this page.
