| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focuses on interaction between trade policy and environmental policy. To control greenhouse gas emissions efficiently, we should regulate all pollution emission sources in the economy equally. However, in the real world, environmental regulations differ by sector. We examine how the enforcement of uniform environmental regulation affects welfare under a trade policy, where the government initially implements different environmental regulations across sectors. It is important to consider this relation between environmental regulations and trade policy because countries tend to impose weak environmental regulations in sectors facing global competition often protected by import tariffs.
