IS GLOBALIZATION BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT? INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND LAND DEGRADATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES:THE CASE OF SMALL OPEN ECONOMY

This paper uses a two-good specific factors model to derive a relationship between international trade, land degradation, and welfare.

We conclude that poor resource management undermines the conventional gains from globalization.
