Environmental Policy and Changing North-South Comparative Advantages

Chapter 6 in Trade, Aid and Development, 1994, pp 99-119 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One of the main features of today’s world economy is its ever-increasing level of integration. In this essay we discuss two aspects of this integration and their mutual relationships. First, international economic interdependence increases, characterised over the years by a growth of the volume of world trade outstripping the growth of world production, increasing foreign investments and a highly integrated international capital market. Secondly and relatedly, environmental problems are also becoming more international.
