Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focused on water resources as one of the renewable resources, and investigated the effects of international trade on water resources by using worldwide macro-level dataset. Specifically, we consider trade-induced scale, technique, and composition effects on water resources. Our result implies that international trade can reduce the degree of water consumption on world average.
