Copeland and Taylor（1999，J. Int. Econ. 47，137-168）指出，贸易允许两个不相容产业的空间分离。将污染性工业集中在一个国家可以消除其对另一个国家的退化影响。本文扩展了分析，允许跨界污染。因此，专业化对另一个国家的污染程度有间接影响。我们展示了（i）如何跨国差异暴露于污染排放可以产生比较优势和（ii）在什么条件下，由此产生的贸易模式与跨界污染相结合，可以增加污染暴露的生产力和福利在两国的负面影响。
Abstract Copeland and Taylor (1999, J. Int. Econ. 47, 137–168) show that trade allows the spatial separation of two incompatible industries. Concentrating the polluting industry in one country eliminates its degenerative effects in the other. This paper extends the analysis by allowing for transboundary pollution. Thus specialization has indirect repercussions on the level of pollution in the other country. We show (i) how cross-national differences in exposure to pollution emissions can generate comparative advantage and (ii) under what condition the resulting trading pattern combined with transboundary pollution can increase pollution exposure with negative effects on productivity and welfare in both countries.
