Environmental Regulations And Japan'S Industry And International Trade

Sueo Sekiguchi

Japanese Economy, 1975, vol. 3, issue 4, 83-126

Abstract: With respect to increasing Japanese steel exports to the United States, U.S. businesses have reportedly been criticizing the Japanese steel industry for strengthening its international competitiveness by cutting back the pollution abatement cost. In other words, they charge Japan with "dumping environmental pollution." However, there has been little factual evidence that can either support or deny such a charge. In view of very little information available on firms' cost of production, I conjecture that the American criticism is based on no objective evidence.
