Perspectives on Pollution Abatement and Competitiveness: Theory, Data, and Analyses.

The article focuses on the interrelationship between pollution abatement and competitiveness and presents existing data on pollution abatement costs and emissions. The author also discusses and summarizes the theoretical and empirical literature on it, along with the definition of competitiveness. Citing the U.S. and Great Britain's example, he mentions that productivity studies will continue to produce conflicting results until a formal unification of the theoretical models is achieved.
