Since the early 1970s, observers have noted that complying with
environmental regulations might be a significant new factor in
determining the locations of industries involved in world trade.
Two related hypotheses have been offered to explain how
environmental regulations are altering international comparative
advantage in industrial production: first, that stringent
regulations push industries out of the United States and other
advanced industrial nations (the 'industrial flight' hypothesis);
second, that less developed countries compete to attract
multinational industries by minimizing their own regulations (the
'pollution haven' hypothesis). This 1988 study examines the
validity of the industrial-flight and pollution-haven hypotheses
within a broad political and economic framework of theories
purporting to explain international trade and investment.
