The environmental costs and benefits of special economic zones

该项目旨在评估公司空间集中的环境影响。该项目将利用地理参照经济数据的日益可用性，评估中国、印度和哥伦比亚促进产业集群的政策的环境成本和效益。收集的数据集将把核算数据估算的企业一级排放趋势与地面监测器和卫星得出的环境污染措施相匹配。该项目将调查经济增长与工业排放之间的相互作用，并在更好地了解工业集群是否减轻或加剧制造业的地方和全球排放的基础上提出建议。

This project aims to evaluate the environmental impacts of the spatial concentration of firms. Taking advantage of increasing availability of geo-referenced economic data, the project will evaluate the environmental costs and benefits of policies to promote industrial clusters in China, India, and Colombia. The collected datasets will match trends in firm-level emissions imputed from accounting data to ambient pollution measures derived from ground monitors and satellites. This project will investigate the interactions between economic growth and industrial emissions, and provide recommendations based on a better understanding of whether industrial clusters mitigate or exacerbate local and global emissions from manufacturing.
