Zugravu, Natalia; Kheder, Sonia Ben - 2008
Although based on theoretical foundations, the pollution haven hypothesis has never been clearly proven empirically. In this study, we re-examine this hypothesis by a fresh take on both its theoretical and empirical aspects. While applying a geographic economy model on French firm-level data, we...

Although based on theoretical foundations, the pollution haven hypothesis stating that heterogenous environmental regulations between countries influence multinational firms' location decisions, has never been clearly proven empirically. In this study, we reexamine this hypothesis by a fresh...

Foreign Direct Investment and Pollution Havens
King, John - In: Journal of Economics and Econometrics 54 (2011) 1, pp. 39-47

hypothesis using panel data on outward foreign direct investment (FDI) flows of various industries in the German manufacturing … demonstrate that externalities associated with FDI agglomeration can bias estimates away from finding a pollution haven effect if … omitted from the analysis. We include the stock of inward FDI as a proxy for agglomeration and employ a GMM estimator to …

Second best environmental policies under uncertainty
Antoniou, Fabio; Hatzipanayotou, Panos; Koundouri, Phoebe - 2010
We construct a strategic trade model of an international duopoly, whereby production by exporting firms generates a local pollutant. Governments use environmental policies, i.e., an emissions standard or a tax, to control pollution and for rent shifting purposes. Contrary to their firm, however,...

On The Strategic Effect of International Permits Trading on Local Pollution: The Case of Multiple Pollutants
Antoniou, Fabio; Kyriakopoulou, Efthymia - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2015
We introduce a model of strategic environmental policy where two firms compete à la Cournot in a third market under the presence of multiple pollutants. Two types of pollutants are introduced, a local and a transboundary one. The regulator can only control local pollution as transboundary...
