Gaming in Air Pollution Data? Lessons from China (2012, unknown): “capital flow, and international pollution havens, for example, Dean, Lovely and Wang (2009), Ederington, Levinson and Minier (2005), Keller and Levinson (2002), Wheeler (2004), and Zeng”
Why Is Pollution from US Manufacturing Declining? The Roles of Environmental Regulation, Productivity, and Trade (2018, unknown): “18Empirical research has used the PACE survey to show that pollution abatement expenditures respond to Clean Air Act county-specific regulations; other work has shown that PACE expenditures are correlated with state-specific foreign direct investment (Keller and Levinson, 2002; Becker, 2005).”
Environmental Regulation and Industry Location in Europe (2010, background): “3 Our paper also complements papers in a related strand of the literature such as List and Co (2000); Keller and Levinson (2002) and Xing and Kolstad (2002) who focus, respectively on US inbound and outbound FDI.”
Environmental Regulations, Outward FDI and Heterogeneous Firms: Are Countries Used as Pollution Havens? (2012, background): “List and Co (2000 )a ndKeller and Levinson (2002) both find evidence that increased environmentalregulationisassociatedwith lowerFDIinflowsintoU.S.states.Typically,itis argued that this approach has the advantage that while environmental regulations are known to differ across states, other difficult”
Offshoring Production or Offshoring Pollution (2015, unknown): “Our findings provide additional empirical support for the call by policy makers for more coordination between international trade agreements and domestic environmental regulations (Keller and Levinson 2002).”
Do Foreign Investors Care about Labor Market Regulations? (2004, background): “…FDI incentives and restrictions on direct investment inflows, Hines (1996) and Devereux and Griffith (1998) the effect of taxation, Javorcik (forthcoming) the impact of intellectual property protection, Keller and Levinson (2002) and Smarzynska and Wei (2001) the effect of environmental standards.”
Measuring the Stringency of Environmental Regulations (2016, unknown): “Thus, Keller and Levinson (2002) construct an industry-adjusted, cost-based measure using published average annual PACE data by industry and state.”
Towards a system of open cities in China: Home prices, FDI flows and air quality in 35 major cities (2009, background): “Conversely, if clean cities in China are clean because they impose more regulation, then OLS estimates are biased against finding that FDI lowers air pollution (Keller and Levinson 2002).”
How does Foreign Direct Investment Affect Pollution? Toward a Better Understanding of the Direct and Conditional Effects (2015, unknown): “Constructing a synthetic indicator for the general environmental performance of the industrial composition, by using detailed data onvalue added andpollution intensity of each industrial sector, should allow to overcome such ambiguity (e.g., Keller and Levinson 2001; He 2010).”
