There are often conflicts between proponents of trade and environmental activists. This paper shows, however, how trade agreements can be designed so as to motivate environmental conservation. I first analyze a standard trade model, where resource exploitation (e.g., deforestation) is a...

Emission abatement is mainly driven by a decline in pollution emission intensity, and not by … pollution haven hypothesis whereby offshoring is central to the mechanism - US manufacturers begin to source from abroad and …

I find that concerns about the effect of pollution offshoring were unfounded in the … production and imports were actually exactly opposite to what pollution offshoring would predict. Starting in the early 2000s, EU …
