本文建立了一个两国两部门的国际贸易模型，其中环境资本的存量随着时间的推移而积累。它显示了在世界范围的污染形式的生产外部性存在的情况下，开放贸易如何改变各国的生产模式和福利水平。关于贸易与环境之间的相互作用，出现了许多理论研究。其中，Copeland and Taylor [3]（1999）的模型分析了在存在局部环境污染的Riccarton型贸易模型中各国的生产模式和福利水平，本文在一国产生的污染可能影响其他国家经济活动的假设下，重新检验了他们的分析。然后我们得到了与Copeland和Taylor分析基本相同的结果。但我们进一步分析得出，工业品对农产品的相对需求与国外环境资本对国内环境资本的相对水平之间的关系在决定生产方式方面起着重要作用。此外，我们明确了生产模式和跨界污染程度之间的关系。
This paper develops a two-country, two-sector model of international trade in which the stock of environmental capital accumulates over time. It shows how the pattern of production and the welfare level of each country change by opening trade when there is production externalities in the form of worldwide-scale pollution.There have appeared many theoretical studies on the interaction between trade and the environment. Among them, we focus on the model of Copeland and Taylor [3] (1999) which analyzes the pattern of production and the welfare level of each country in the Ricardian type of trade model with local environmental pollution.In this paper we re-examined their analysis under the supposition that pollution generated in one country possibly influences the economic activities of other countries. Then we show essentially the same results as those in Copeland and Taylor's analysis. But we deepen their analysis and obtain an implication that the relationship between the relative demand of manufacturing goods to the agricultural ones and the relative level of foreign environmental capital to the home one plays the significant role in determining the pattern of production. In addition, we make clear the relationship between the pattern of production and the transboundary degree of pollution.
