This paper sets out a general equilibrium pollution and trade model to provide a framework for examination of the trade … and environment debate. The model contains as special cases a canonical pollution haven model as well as the standard … Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson factor endowments model. We draw quite heavily from trade theory, but develop a simple pollution …

This article studies how liability for environmentally harmful discharges affects the incentives of firms to engage in cleanup and invest in precautions, as well as the incentives of consumers to purchase the goods whose production leads to discharges. Our main conclusion is that making firms...

Efficient responses to climate change require accurate estimates of both aggregate damages and where and to whom they occur. While specific case studies and simulations have suggested that climate change disproportionately affects the poor, large-scale direct evidence of the magnitude and...

We find consistent evidence that vessel noise pollution from international shipping has lowered fertility … and raised the mortality of the SRKW significantly.

-O (EEIO) models include flows of both pollution and consumption of resources and energy. The present paper proposes a … complete characterization of the air pollution damage flows throughout the U.S. economy. Pollution intensity fell from 7 … percent of value-added in 1999 to 2 percent in 2011. The utility sector exhibits the highest ratio of pollution damage from …

With average temperature ranging from -20°C at the North Pole to 30°C at the Equator and with global warming expected to reach 1.4°C to 4.5°C by the year 2100, it is clear that climate change will have vastly different effects across the globe. Given the abundance of land in northern...
