Trade in Pollution-intensive Products: Evidence from India

Title

Trade in Pollution-intensive Products: Evidence from India

Creator

Tantri M.L.; Bhat V.

Description

This article explains Indias trade from an environmental perspective. Besides explaining trends and patterns of trade in pollution-intensive products, we investigate Indias comparative advantage in these products and discuss the emerging issues. The exercise based on the UN Comtrade dataset reveals that much of Indias exports happen under this category with better revealed comparative advantage (RCA) values, which do have high environmental concerns. We sum up the article by arguing that there is a need to attend to sector-specific problems encountered by these industries and have a well-knit environmental policy, so that trade and industrial expansion do not have a major environmental concern. 2022 Management Development Institute.
