Objective
To analyze the impact of environmental regulation within the European Union on the competitive position of industry and on trade, foreign investment and employment, particularly in relation to newly industrialising and developing countries where such regulation may be less stringent.
OBJECTIVES:
To analyze the impact of environmental regulation within the European Union on the competitive position of industry and on trade, foreign investment and employment, particularly in relation to newly industrialising and developing countries where such regulation may be less stringent.
DESCRIPTION:
The research focuses on the following issues:
i) The change in the competitive position of a dozen highly polluting industries in the EU with significant environmental impacts. Associated trends in international trade and investment are analyzed. Technological developments in response to environmental regulation and firm strategies are also investigated.
ii) A more detailed study of three polluting industries which are significant in trade terms, with particular emphasis on the nature of technological change within each branch, the diffusion of "clean technologies" and the strategies of individual firms.
iii) Country level studies are undertaken in the case of a number of newly industrialising and less developed countries which are significant exporters to the EU of relevant "pollution intensive" products. The environmental regulation in the countries selected, the nature of the technology utilised and the competitiveness of production vis-a-vis the EU are analyzed.
The research concludes with a synthesis of the various case studies, to highlight the determinants of the impact of environmental regulation on technology and competitiveness, and the ways in which these are reflected in the pattern of trade, investment and employment.
