How globalisation and environmental policy stringency affect the environmental terms of trade? The case of the V4 countriesHow globalisation and environmental policy stringency affect the environmental terms of trade? The case of the V4 countries Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2023-04-272021enThis paper examines the links between globalisation and environmental policy stringency with the environmental terms of trade. The existence of dynamic links among the variables was explored using cross-correlations and Granger Causality tests. According to the results, the de jure and the de facto globalisation measures have different environmental impacts. Also, despite the fact that all V4 countries have introduced strict environmental policies, especially since 2000, the relative strength of these policies lag behind the maximum OECD stringency. As a result, the pollution heaven hypothesis cannot be excluded. The policy implications of the results are briefly discussed.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/International Journal of Green Economics153233-252 Kampas Athanasios Czech Katarzyna Rozakis Stylianos Ροζακης Στυλιανος Inderscience Pollution haven hypothesis Globalisation Ecological footprint Environmental terms of trade
