«Para que todas las cosas subsistan»
Puede afirmarse que este planeta es «para el hombre» y, en caso afirmativo, en qué sentido? En este artículo se aborda esta cuestión mediante un análisis y una crítica de las creencias comunes sobre la naturaleza de la realidad y la interdependencia del mundo natural. Se argumenta que el mundo no puede concebirse de forma mecanicista, como hace la filosofía moderna, ni desde la postura de los ecofilósofos que ven al hombre únicamente como un usur…
On the Economics of Extinction and Possible Mass Extinctions
Human beings’ domination of the planet has not been kind to many species. This is to be expected. Humans have radically altered natural landscapes, harvested heavily from the ocean, and altered the climate in an unprecedented way. Recent concerns over the extent and rate of biodiversity loss have led to renewed interest in extinction outcomes and speculation concerning humans’ potential role in any future mass extinction. In this paper, we discus…
The Green Solow model
Unmasking the Pollution Haven Effect
We use theory and empirics to examine the effect of environmental regulations on trade flows. A simple model demonstrates how unobserved heterogeneity, endogeneity, and aggregation issues bias standard measurements of this relationship. A reduced‐form estimate of the model, using data on U.S. regulations and trade with Canada and Mexico for 130 manufacturing industries from 1977 to 1986, indicates that industries whose abatement costs increased m…
Trade and the Environment
Trade, Growth, and the Environment
For the last ten years environmentalists and the trade policy community have engaged in a heated debate over the environmental consequences of liberalized trade. The debate was originally fueled by negotiations over the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Uruguay round of GATT negotiations, both of which occurred at a time when concerns over global warming, species extinction and industrial pollution were rising. Recently it has been inte…
Is Free Trade Good for the Environment?
This paper investigates how openness to international goods markets affects pollution concentrations. We develop a theoretical model to divide trade's impact on pollution into scale, technique, and composition effects and then examine this theory using data on sulfur dioxide concentrations. We find international trade creates relatively small changes in pollution concentrations when it alters the composition of national output. Estimates of the t…
North-South Trade and the Environment
A simple static model of North-South trade is developed to examine linkages between national income, pollution, and international trade. Two countries produce a continuum of goods, each differing in pollution intensity. We show that the higher income country chooses stronger environmental protection, and specializes in relatively clean goods. By isolating the scale, composition, and technique effects of international trade on pollution, we show t…
Innovation and Growth in the Global Economy
Traditional growth theory emphasizes the incentives for capital accumulation rather than technological progress. Innovation is treated as an exogenous process or a by-product of investment in machinery and equipment. Grossman and Helpman develop a unique approach in which innovation is viewed as a deliberate outgrowth of investments in industrial research by forward-looking, profit-seeking agents
