摘要

我们研究了离岸外包在理解贸易自由化和美国制造业清理的长期环境影响方面的作用。利用企业层面的污染排放和商业活动数据以及21世纪初美国对华贸易政策的变化，我们发现美国企业减少了有毒物质排放，以应对贸易政策不确定性的降低。减排的主要驱动力是污染排放强度的下降。我们提供了全面的证据，突出了离岸外包的作用：美国制造商，特别是那些排放大量污染物的制造商，从国外采购，并在事件发生后在中国建立了更多的子公司。

The cleanup of US manufacturing through pollution offshoring

We study the role of offshoring in understanding long-run environmental impacts of trade liberalization and the cleanup of US manufacturing. Leveraging establishment-level pollution emissions and business activity data and a change in US trade policy toward China in the early 2000s, we show that US establishments decrease toxic emissions in response to a reduction in trade policy uncertainty. Emission abatement is mainly driven by a decline in pollution emission intensity. We provide comprehensive evidence that highlights the role of offshoring: US manufacturers, especially those that emit pollutants intensely, source from abroad and establish more subsidiaries in China following the event.
