Evaluating the Impact of Specific Environmental Regulations on Exports
针对发展中国家和转型经济体担忧环境政策会减少出口的问题，本文构建了一个微观经济框架来评估环境法规变化对出口的影响，并给出何时影响较小或较大的实证指导。
There is clear concern in developing and transition economies that new and proposed changes in environmental policies and regulations will reduce exports. The existing 'trade and environment' literature, however, provides little empirical guidance for policy makers to evaluate sector-specific trade impacts of environmental regulatory changes. To assist with such analysis, this paper develops a microeconomic framework that can be used to evaluate the impact of changed environmental regulations on exports. The results provide clear empirical guidance to understand when the impact of such changes are likely to be relatively small and when the impacts are larger.
