Issues related to environmental protection and trade liberalization
have moved to the forefront of international policy agendas. The
Economics of International Trade and the Environment explores -
from an economic standpoint - many of the questions that are
germane in increasing our knowledge of environmental policy in the
presence of international trade and trade policy in the presence of
environmental externalities. Ultimately we must ask "What can
economic theory tell us about the connections between environmental
and trade policy?" This book uses the tools of game and
microeconomic theory to analyze diverse issues such as: the effects
of international trade in waste products on illegal disposal, the
nature of environmental policy when market structure and plant
locations are endogenous, and the issue of ecological dumping. The
authors apply economic theory to practical settings to ascertain
the extent to which this theory can inform policy decisions about
problems at the interface of international trade and the
environment. Edited by well-known researchers and authors, this is
the only resource that can serve as an effective guide to the
theoretical and empirical literature on international trade and the
environment. The Economics of International Trade and the
Environment provides comprehensive coverage on a wide variety of
topics and contains the most recent contributions in this area and
is suitable as a graduate course in Economics and International
Trade
