| Tiivistelmä: | For an economic order to remain within ecological boundaries, countries need to respond to ecological feedback effects. Resulting environmental compliance costs have so far hardly influenced trade flows and firm location decisions. Future developments of economic integration and the increasing urgency of strichter environmental objectives are shown to change this picture. International harmonization of environmental regulation is connected to a range of shortcomings, especially for countries differing in natural endowments and preferences. Two regulatory frameworks are analyzed. |
