Abstract:This paper considers a 3-stage game in the context of a competing exporters model to compare the effects of discriminatory and uniform (Most Favored Nation, MFN) tariffs on countries' choice over environmental standards for varying degrees of pollution spillovers.
It is found that discrimination produces higher standards than MFN (and free trade) independently of the extent of pollution spillovers etc.
