| Tiivistelmä: | From a trade-theory perspective more stringent environmental regulations give rise to increased costs of production, which result in a depressing influence on exports and a rise of imports. So far , most empirical studies concentrated on the impact of stringent anti-pollution standards on exports that such inconclusiveness can be attributed to the type of indicator that has been used to represent strictness of environmental regulations. Several measures of environmental policy stringency are discussed and evaluated against the Polluter Pays Principle. Next, the measures are used in a trade flow equation based on bilateral trade flows to investigate a cross-country data set of OECD countries for 1992. Analyses are performed for total trade, for pollution- intesive trade, and for pollution-intensive trade related to non-resource based sectors only. |
