New evidence on trade-environment linkage via air visibility

We revisit the effect of trade openness on environmental quality by utilizing data on the air visibility of 134 countries during 1961–2004. We find a significantly negative impact of trade openness on air quality, not only for developing economies, but also for developed ones. This finding is new to the literature and contrasts with existing evidence.
