Book Synopsis Pollution Havens and Foreign Direct Investment by : Beata K. Smarzynska Javorcik
Book excerpt: The "pollution haven" hypothesis states that multinational firms, particularly those in highly polluting industries, relocate to countries with weak environmental standards. Despite the plausibility and popularity of this hypothesis, Smarzynska and Wei find only weak evidence in its favor.
