| Abstract: | The extent to which the EKC inverted U relationship can be explained by trade and specifically the migration or displacement of "dirty" industries from the developed regions to the developing regions (the pollution haven hypothesis (PHH)) is examined in this article. Detailed data on North-South trade flows for pollution intensive products is used to assess the evidence for the PHH. Then emissions of 10 air and water pollutants, controlling for trade openness, structural change and "dirty" North-South trade flows. Some evidence of pollution haven effects is found. |
