Synopsis

Alpay (international trade, Beykent U., Turkey) explores the impact of trade liberalization on environmental quality and attempts to tease out the links between the two. He then reverses the causality, examining the effect of environmental policies on international competitiveness and patterns of international trade. Evidence related to the arguments of classical economists that environmental regulation would cause a loss in productivity and those of revisionists who suggest that properly crafted regulations bring social goods and increased competitiveness spurred by innovation is analyzed without a definitive answer. Finally, interactions between global environmental protection, free-riding, and international trade are explored. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
