Abstract: Abstract This article investigates the effects of trade liberalization on transboundary pollution associated with consumption and global welfare in a reciprocal-markets model. We find that a bilateral reduction in tariffs is beneficial to the global environment. Moreover, trade liberalization will enhance global welfare if trans-boundary pollution is sufficiently strong.
