| Abstract: | In the presence of local and global pollutants, the pollution haven hypothesis and free riding behaviour are explored. With global trading of carbon permits, the pollution haven effect emerges in equilibrium whenever the convex sulfur damage functions are non-linear. Countries that don't take part in a Global Protocol aimed at reducing carbon emissions enjoy double benefits, stemming from free riding and cleaner local environments etc. |
