Classification JEL : F18;H23;Q17 ; International audience ; We analyze the impacts of bioenergy trade on greenhouse gas emissions using a two-good, three-factor model. Bioenergy is an agricultural good used as a substitute for fossil fuels in industry. Governments tax domestic pollution without international coordination. We assume that northern countries have higher labor productivity than southern ones and that agriculture is less pollution intensive than industry (after taxation). We show that whereas southern countries impose a lower tax rate than northern ones, they do not necessary have a competitive advantage in industry, and that compared to autarky, trade liberalization either increases or decreases worldwide emissions depending on regional comparative advantages.

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 trade-induced technique and scale effects imply a net reduction in pollution from these sources. Combining our estimates of all three effects yields a somewhat surprising conclusion: freer trade appears to be good for the environment. (JEL F11, Q25)

One of the most debatable issues surrounding globalisation is
the concern that trade hurts the environment, both locally and globally.
Economists argue that expanding trade from domestic market to
international market not only increases market share of each country but
also rising competition among the nations and improve efficiency of
utilising scarce resources because each country produces those goods in
which she has comparative advantages. But on the other hand,
environmental economists have opposed global trade and argue that the
costs of spreading trade to international markets are depleting natural
resources and rising pollution emissions that ultimately deteriorates
environmental quality. [Copeland and Taylor (2001), Antweiler, Copeland
