Notes

1. The analysis of pollution content of international trade in the United States and United Kingdom reveals in all its depth the fallacy of the so-called environmental Kuznets curve analyses, which have purported to show that after becoming dirtier for an income range, increasingly richer countries become environmentally cleaner. The problem is that the empirical studies “showing” this inverted U-shaped relation between wealth and pollution use only data on territorial emissions within the borders of the countries and exclude residents’ emissions taking place elsewhere, where international trade is the key vehicle.
