The role of renewable versus non-renewable energy to the level of CO2 emissions a panel analysis of sub- Saharan Africa’s Βig 10 electricity generators (2018, background): “The literature also examined the impact of trade to the environment (Taylor, 2004; Copeland and Taylor, 2005; Ahmed and Long, 2013, Baek et al., 2009 are some examples).”
Institutionalized pollution havens (2009, background): “In examining these feedback effects we draw upon a body of literature that emphasizes how political institutions such as presidential vs. parliamentary systems and electoral rules influence environmental and fiscal policy outcomes (see Persson et 1 See Taylor (2004) for an insightful discussion.”
Industrial CO2 intensity, indigenous innovation and R&D spillovers in China’s provinces (2014, background): “For FDI, it can lead to the ‘‘pollution haven’’ effect, which means that dirty firms from developed countries choose to relocate to developing countries in order to take advantage of their loose environmental standards [48].”
Are RTA agreements with environmental provisions reducing emissions (2013, neutral): “…differences in environmental regulations are the main motivation for trade and that trade liberalization causes pollution-intensive industries to relocate from high income countries with stringent environmental regulations to low income countries with lax environmental regulations (Taylor, 2004).”
Pollution Haven and Corruption Paradise (2017, neutral): “…studies based on U.S. data provide us with some of the most convincing evidence for a regulatory impact on economic activity i.e. a pollution haven e(cid:27)ect (cid:21) convincing evidence for or against the pollution haven hypothesis must employ international data(cid:17) M. Scott Taylor (2004).”
Trade openness–carbon emissions nexus: The importance of turning points of trade openness for country panels (2016, background): “However, there are very few empirical studies on environmental degradation based on theoretical framework (e.g., Antweiler et al. 2001; Copeland and Taylor, 2004).”
The world trade network and the environment (2015, background): “Trade can increase environmental pollution in developing countries as a result of the trade activity from developed countries, that is, the so-called pollution haven hypothesis (Taylor, 2005).”
Offshoring Production or Offshoring Pollution (2015, neutral): “According to the Pollution Haven Hypothesis (hereafter PHH), “liberalized trade in goods will lead to the relocation of pollution intensive production from high income and stringent environmental regulation countries to low income and lax environmental regulation countries” (Taylor 2005, p.2).”
Are Foreign Investors Attracted to Weak Environmental Regulations? Evaluating the Evidence from China (2005, background): “In lieu of such a formidable endeavor, researchers have searched for evidence of what Taylor (2004) calls a “pollution haven effect,” the deterrence of exports or capital inflows by tighter environmental regulation.”
Pollution havens and industrial agglomeration (2006, methodology): “Levinson and Taylor (2004) use imports instead of outward foreign direct investment (FDI) to measure the migration of firms.”
