The Welfare Consequences of Pollution-Tax Harmonization

Nikolaos Vlassis ()

Environmental & Resource Economics, 2013, vol. 56, issue 2, 227-238

Abstract: A key, and often controversial, issue in environmental negotiations is the appropriate extent of harmonization of environmental policies. This paper, within a general equilibrium model of international trade with endogenous pollution discharges, identifies instances in which pollution-tax harmonization can deliver potential Pareto improvements.
