Introduction:
The ongoing debate on the linkages between trade and environment is becoming crucial at both the research and the policymaking levels. The enactment of new environmental laws in developed countries since the early seventies, and the increasing tendency towards trade liberalization in the nineties have sparked two main types of concern. First, environmentalists have expressed concerns that increasing economic activity resulting from trade liberalization would unavoidably lead to more pollution, unsustainable use of natural resources, and deterioration of environmental quality (Esty, 2001).
