Trade, Growth, and the Environment
综述了经济增长和国际贸易对环境影响的现有知识,批判性地回顾了环境库兹涅茨曲线、污染避难所假说等理论和实证证据,并讨论了这些证据对政策辩论的意义及未来研究方向。
This essay reviews what we currently know about the environmental consequences of economic growth and international trade. Using a unified framework, we critically review both theory and empirical evidence on issues such as the Environmental Kuznets Curve, the pollution haven hypothesis, and the effects of environmental policy differences on trade and investment flows. We consider how this evidence can help us evaluate ongoing policy debates, and we discuss directions for further research.
