Most-cited papers in The Journal of Environment & Development

Trade Policy and Industrial Pollution in Latin America: Where Are the Pollution Havens?

Nancy Birdsall, David Wheeler · 1 Jan 1993

It is commonly assumed by economists and environmentalists alike that greater economtc "openness" will lead to increased industrial pollution in developing countries. This paper challenges the "pollution haven" hypothesis, arguing that liberalization of trade regimes and increased foreign investment in Latin America have not been associated with pollution-intensive industrial development. From case studies and econometric…

In Search of Pollution Havens? Dirty Industry in the World Economy, 1960 to 1995

Muthukumara Mani, David Wheeler · 1 Sep 1998

The past three decades have witnessed rapid economic development, particularly in countries that have pursued relatively open economic policies. Rising environmental awareness in the 1960s also led to a rapid tightening of pollution regulation in the industrial economies. According to the "pollution havens" hypothesis, the result should have been more rapid growth of dirty industries…

Blue Economy and Competing Discourses in International Oceans Governance

Jennifer J. Silver, Noella J. Gray, Lisa M. Campbell et al. · 21 Apr 2015

In this article, we track a relatively new term in global environmental governance: “blue economy.” Analyzing preparatory documentation and data collected at the 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development (i.e., Rio + 20), we show how the term entered into use and how it was articulated within four competing discourses regarding human–ocean relations: (a) oceans…

Miranda A. Schreurs · 7 Nov 2008

While recognizing the limitations that face local governments, the article discusses the importance of focusing more attention on climate policies and programs of state (prefectural, provincial), regional, metropolitan, and local levels of…

Examining the Evidence on Environmental Regulations and Industry Location

Smita B. Brunnermeier, Arik Levinson · 1 Mar 2004

This article offers a review and critique of the large literature on the pollution havens hypothesis. This hypothesis refers to the notion that certain jurisdictions can become pollution havens as dirty industries relocate or expand in response to differences in regulatory stringency. The early literature, based on cross-sectional analyses, typically concludes that environmental regulations have…
