International Trade and Sustainability: A survey

No 1201, Larefi Working Papers from Larefi, Université Bordeaux 4

Abstract: This paper aims at reviewing the literature on international trade and sustainability. In the neoclassical sense sustainability is interpreted as the imperative to maintain constant consump- tion over time. The literature provides several indicators to assess sustainability empirically. Theoretical and empirical studies alike usually consider the world either as an integrated econ- omy where international is no di erent from intra-national trade and can be neglected or a juxtaposition of closed national economies. Some useful insights can be drawn from the liter- ature on trade and the environment to nally understand the impact of international trade on all the dimensions of sustainability.
