摘要

尽管人们普遍意识到二氧化碳污染对世界气候的有害影响,但各国在如何制定和执行环境法律方面存在很大差异。利用跨国公司二氧化碳排放的新微观数据,我们证明总部设在环境政策严格的国家的公司在政策相对较弱的国家进行污染活动。这些影响在很大程度上是由于本国收紧的环境政策激励企业到国外污染,而不是宽松的外国政策吸引这些企业。虽然总部设在国内环境政策严格的国家的公司更有可能将污染出口到国外,但它们在全球排放的二氧化碳总量还是少一些。

Exporting Pollution: Where Do Multinational Firms Emit CO2?
Despite widespread awareness of the detrimental impact of CO2 pollution on the world climate, countries vary widely in how they design and enforce environmental laws. Using novel microdata about multinational firms' CO2 emissions across countries, we document that firms headquartered in countries with strict environmental policies perform their polluting activities abroad in countries with relatively weaker policies. These effects are largely driven by tightened environmental policies in home countries that incentivize firms to pollute abroad rather than lenient foreign policies that attract those firms. Although firms headquartered in countries with strict domestic environmental policies are more likely to export pollution to foreign countries, they nevertheless emit somewhat less overall CO2 globally.
