Environmental regulation and international trade
Mulatu, Abay; Florax, Raymond J. G. M.; Withagen, Cees - 2004
We empirically investigate the responsiveness of international trade to the stringency of environmental regulation. Stringent environmental regulation may impair the export competitiveness of ‘dirty’ domestic industries, and as a result, ‘pollution havens’ emerge in countries where...

A meta-analytic assessment of the effect of immigration on wages
Longhi, Simonetta; Nijkamp, Peter; Poot, Jacques - 2004
In our increasingly interconnected and open world, international migration is becoming an important socio-economic phenomenon for many countries. Since the early 1980s, many studies have been undertaken of the impact of immigration on host labour markets. Borjas (2003) noted that the estimated...

Substitution and complementarity under comparative advantage and the accumulation of human capital
Teulings, Coen N. - 1999
The paper applies Ricardo's principle of comparative advantage to analyze the substitutability between types of labor. The problem of having to classify labor in a small number of types in e.g. standard CES models are avoided by applying a continuum of worker and job types, where better skilled...

Capital-energy substitution and shifts in factor demand : a meta-analysis
Koetse, Mark J.; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Florax, Raymond … - 2006
This paper presents results of a meta-regression analysis on empirical estimates of capital-energy substitution. Theoretically it is clear that a distinction should be made between Morishima substitution elasticities and cross-price elasticities. The former represent purely technical...
