This paper develops a methodology to estimate the environmental impact of the Uruguay Round trade agreement. The impact is estimated in terms of five air pollutants for both developed and developing countries/regions. The methodology estimates environmental Kuznets curves and uses these in...

This paper re-examines the pollution-income relationship using a random coefficients model to allow for greater cross-country heterogeneity. The existence of a common pollution-income relationship across countries is rejected and hence little support for the environmental Kuznets curve is found.

This paper analyses loyalty rebates and the test set out in the CJEU’s Intel decision. This paper explains that the contention between the GC and the CJEU is not a matter of law but rather the fundamental theoretical basis upon which the law is based. For that reason, it is difficult to...

To overcome key challenges in environmental policy evaluation we use machine learning based weather normalisation techniques to strip out the effect of weather on air pollution estimates. Combined with Augmented Synthetic Control Methods (ASCM) we provide a causal estimate of the impact of...
