| Abstract: | Instead of focusing on producer generated - smokestack - pollution, the paper analyzes the consumer generated - tailpipe - pollution in open economies. Investigating the relationship between country's trade regime and political opposition to environmental regulation, the author show that the extent to which a change in trade regime can affect environmental policy may depend on whether the pollution is generated by producers or consumers. In addition, it is shown that industry opposition to smokestack regulation may increase due to the opening to trade, but the opposition to strict tailpipe policy may decrease. |
