This book sets out to examine one of the most important issues on trade and the environment namely, the trade effects of domestic environmental policy. The central question addressed is whether stringent domestic environmental policies reduce the international competitiveness of environmentally sensitive industries. This study is distinguished by two major innovations that go beyond the established literature: the examination of time-series evidence to explore the relationship between environmental regulations and trade patterns, and the introduction of technology factors, together with endowment factors, to explain the empirical evidence. To theoretically explore the dynamic linkage between environmental regulation, technological innovation and economic growth the author sets up an intertemporal dynamic general equilibrium model in which the more fundamental, dynamic determinant of economic growth is its capacity for technological innovation. The basic findings are that (1) changes in thestringency of environmental regulations do not have long-run growth effects; and (2) technological innovation is an important determinant of a country's long-run growth. The emphasis of this book is that the trade effects of domestic environmental policy can be better understood if one allows for a dynamic Ricardian technology factor in the conventional Heckscher-Ohlin framework. Innovation and subsequent increases in relative labour productivity, together with factor endowments, are important factors in determining the relationship between environmental regulation and international competitiveness. This result should help refocus the debate on the relationship between environmental regulationand competitiveness in international trade.

It is often argued that policies designed to protect the environment may harm economic growth. Moreover, if introduced unilaterally by a given country, they may reduce the competitiveness of domestic firms. These arguments are generally based on the assumption that environmental protection has to be achieved through the introduction of emission charges (e.g. a carbon tax). However, three issues need to be raised: first, the tax is not the only policy instrument - and is not the most efficient one - that can be used to reduce polluting emissions; secondly, even when a tax policy is implemented, it is important to assess the feedback effects induced by recycling the tax revenue; thirdly, and most importantly, the role of technical progress cannot be neglected. Therefore, there may exist a policy mix that provides firms with the correct incentives to adopt energy - saving technologies and to invest in environment - friendly R & D. The first two issues have partly been explored both in the theoretical and empirical literature. The third issue, i.e. the role of incentives to technical progress, still lacks adequate quantitative assessment. This is why a new model has been developed which endogenizes technical progress and its effects and feedbacks on economic, energy and environmental variables. Using WARM, an econometric general equilibrium model for the European Union and for each member country, this paper presents simulation results up to 2015 of the effects of some industrial-environmental policies which are aimed at protecting the environment without necessarily damaging competitiveness and economic growth. The results show that policies that stimulate environmental R & D, technological innovation and diffusion may provide firms with the correct incentives to avoid damaging the environment, while preserving their competitiveness in the market. Moreover, such a policy, based both on R & D subsidies and on innovation incentives, may not worsen the public-sector budget balance, as a result of the positive effects on economic growth.

It is apparent that environmental issues affect the livelihoods and well being of individuals, communities and businesses the world over. In that vein, this book examines the impact that climate change and other environmental factors have on business. The effect of climate change, while a significant factor, will influence business slowly, but inexorably. Executives should manage environmental risk at three levels: regulatory compliance, potential liability from industrial accidents, and pollutant release mitigation.Companies that are proactive in mitigating their exposure to climate-change risks will not only generate new profitable opportunities, but also gain competitive advantage over their rivals in a carbon-constrained future. Enhancing Global Competitiveness through Sustainable Environmental Stewardship provides frameworks for identifying how climate change might affect a business, and suggests strategy guidelines to manage the risks and seek opportunities.This seminal collection of research will be of particular interest to students and scholars of sustainability studies, business and management, and business professionals concerned with the role they will play in the changing and challenging times that lie ahead for business growth and environmental consciousness.

The final chapter, co-authored with Arik Levinson, identifies the data and conceptual challenges of measuring the stringency of environmental policies, a central issue for any paper that studies the effects of environmental policies. In this paper, we also propose an improved emissions-based measure of stringency.
