| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As trade liberalization proceeds, non-tariff barriers have been increasingly important. Pro-environmental policies unintentionally change the structure of trade and cost of firms. This research conducted empirical analysis at firm level in Malaysia and Vietnam and forcus on the effect of RoHS directive and REACH. We found that compliance with RoHS and REACH increases cost and probability of export. In addition, the negative effect of compliance on the number of export markets imply that RoHS and REACH may lead to concentration of exports to the EU market.
