# Globalization & The Environmnt

## ECON-4370

The goal of this course is to understand the effect of international trade on our natural environment. We will study the effect of trade on air pollution, the role of trade in shifting dirtier industries to countries with lax environmental regulations, the role of trade in a cleaner environment via efficient production, the role of trade in natural resource depletion, the environmental costs of transporting goods, and how trade and environmental policy interact. Course will first examine models of international trade and related data on trade flows. Then we will apply these tools to study the consequences of international trade on the negative environmental externalities. Finally, we will examine issues related to international trade and environmental policy.
