Contents Introduction
The present paper looks at the empirical evidence concerning the trade-environment nexus. A large body of estimation approaches has led to inconclusive results. Based on a brief discussion of these contributions the paper will present ways to overcome the existing shortcomings. While this includes extensions to the estimation procedures the emphasis will be on a simulation approach that allows one to quantify the effects of very narrowly defined trade and environmental policy measures.
