Book Description
This book assesses the magnitude of the effects of trade liberalisation on welfare and the environment in the context of a small open economy, and the degree to which these effects are influenced by environmental policy. It is expected that the results of this study will provide some direction for trade and environmental policies, and will help to fill part of the empirical vacuum in this field. These results will be widely applicable to open-market-based economies and to countries embarking on major liberalisation programs.

Book Description
This book was initiated while the three major authors were at the Development Centre of Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris, working on its program on economic growth, trade, and sustainability. We wish to thank the OECD Development Centre for its support. The book was completed during summer 2001 at the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development (CARD) at Iowa State University. We appreciate the resources and financial support CARD provided for publication of this work. Sandra Clarke provided technical editing of the manuscripts and oversaw the indexing of the book; Becky Olson prepared the camera-ready copy of the final manuscript. We thank them for their instrumental help in these last steps. Part of the work presented in this volume previously appeared in some form in journals. The analysis of Chile presented in Chapter 6 appeared as “Growth, Trade, Pollution and Natural-Resource Use in Chile. Evidence from an Economywide Model,” Agricultural Economics 19(1998): 87-97; and as “Trade Integration, Environmental Degradation, and Public Health in Chile: Assessing the Linkages,” Environment and Development Economics, in press. The work on Costa Rica and Indonesia summarised in Chapter 10 appeared as “Is There a Trade-off Between Trade Liberalisation and Pollution Abatement in Costa Rica? A Computable General Equilibrium Assessment,” Journal of Policy Modeling 20(1): 11-31; and as “The Environment and Welfare Implications of Trade and Tax Policy,” Journal of Development Economics 52(1997): 65-82.

Book Description
This hard-hitting research report presents a rigorous critique of the most widely used trade models based on computable general equilibrium (or CGE) models. The report appeals for honest simulation strategies showing a variety of possible outcomes, which would enable policy-makers to assess the different scenarios for themselves.

Book Description
Published in 1997, this book is about the link between trade and the environment which has become a very important national issue for all countries, in particular, those countries which have been undergoing lengthy periods of trade and investment liberalization programmes recently. This has also become an international issue of tremendous current interest given its implications on the global environment and trading system. International organizations such as WTO, OECD, the UN and regional trading arrangements such as NAFTA, EEC and APEC have been actively involved in the policy debate. Despite the critical importance of trade-environment issues, less is known about the linkages between the two. This book presents a New Zealand perspective as a case-study of global interest for two reasons: firstly, many countries, both developed and developing, are taking the New Zealand economic reforms as a model for restructuring their economies. Secondly, New Zealand is going to become a member of APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation), together with 17 other countries in the area by 2010 (developed countries) and 2020 (developing countries). The book is expected to contribute significantly to the current debate and to assist in the process of reconciliation of trade and environmental policies for sustainable development within the context of APEC integration.

Book Description
Environmental emission and consumption of energy resources now a day have received substantial attention so far as global sustainable development is concerned. In this regard, purpose of the present book is to investigate general equilibrium implications of international trade and globalization over environmental emission, pattern of energy consumption and social welfare for the Indian economy and recommend necessary policy actions. Computable General Equilibrium(CGE) modelling has been applied as the relevant methodology for the analysis, following Shoven and Whalley (J Econ Lit XXII:1007-1051, 1984). Constructing energy/environmental Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for India, study examined the effects of liberalized trade over different macroeconomic aspects, energy consumption and green house gas emission through an environmental CGE model logically based on SAM.Attempts have been made to simulate various trade related policies like import liberalization, foreign capital inflow and use of energy saving technologies for examining the impact over macroeconomic variables and domestic physical environment under both perfect and monopolistic competition market structure.
