五、报告摘要
Trade negotiations have started to pay attention to liberalization in environmental goods (EGs), whose production may require dirty intermediate inputs. We construct a two-country trade model to explore the effects of trade liberalization in EGs on the local pollution, the global environment and welfare in the presence of such an environmental conundrum. We find that countries do not necessarily benefit from trade liberalization in EGs in the absence of an environmental policy. With the assistance of an upstream pollution tax, trade liberalization in EGs improves each country's welfare. This result holds independent of whether it is a local or global EGs, whether the upstream market is competitive or not, or whether we have upstream trade across countries.
