The carbon dioxide emissions of firms:a spatial analysis (2013, background): “Antweiler et al. (1999) and Cole and Elliott (2005) demonstrate a link between the capital intensity of an industry and its pollution abatement costs per unit of value added while Cole et al. (2005) provide evidence of a link between the capital-labour ratio of UK industries and the pollution…”
Do Economic, Financial and Institutional Developments Matter for Environmental Degradation? Evidence from Transitional Economies (2008, background): “However, there are studies that show that FDI inflows lead to increased environmental degradation (Cole and Elliot, 2005; Feridun, 2006).”
Impact of inter-sectoral trade on national and global CO2 emissions: An empirical analysis of China and US (2010, background): “Many studies have demonstrated that some developed countries have become ‘‘clean’’ precisely due to the ‘‘outside pollution’’ (Aldy, 2005; Cole and Elliott, 2005; Rothman, 2000; Suri and Chapman, 1998).”
Growth, Foreign Direct Investment, And The Environment: Evidence From Chinese Cities (2011, unknown): “Previous studies have found a clear positive correlation between an industry’s capital intensity and its pollution intensity (Antweiler et al. 2001, Cole and Elliott 2005).”
Climate change policy and international trade: Policy considerations in the US (2009, background): “The PHH and carbon leakage have a fair amount of intuitive appeal, and this is likely why they are still hotly debated despite empirical studies generally showing they have little evidence (Cole and Elliott, 2005; SQW Ltd., 2006).”
Does Poverty Cause Environmental Degradation? Evidence from Developing Countries (2018, background): “…proven the negative effects of economic output (Finco, 2009; Khan et al., 2018; Sharma, 2011) and foreign direct investment (FDI; Acharyya, 2009; Cole & Elliott, 2005; Khan, Qianli, SongBo, Zaman, & Zhang, 2017) on environmental deterioration.1 To achieve a higher and rapid economic growth,…”
Environmental Regulation and French Firms Location Abroad: An Economic Geography Model in an International Comparative Study (2012, unknown): “As far as the strongly polluting industries tend also to be intensive in capital, the relative lack of capital in the developing countries can prevail over the advantage of low abatement costs (e.g., Antweiler et al., 2001; Cole and Elliott, 2005).”
