| description |
In this paper, the authors discuss the
ways in which national governments, firms, and individuals
respond to policy related to food safety, environmental
protection, and trade. These responses must be considered in
the development of policy to ensure the best possible
outcomes. It accounts for uncertainty about policy impacts
and scientific knowledge and incorporates stochastic
environmental factors. The authors argue use of such a model
in the development of health and environmental policy can
overcome capture by domestic forces opposed to trade
liberalization. The effectiveness of policy, of course, is
dependent upon firm and consumer response to policy. Section
one describes the impacts of international transfer of
species and genetic material, paying particular attention to
the introduction of alien invasive species. Section two
discusses issues surrounding trade in environmental
amenities. Food safety and environmental regulations are
reviewed in section three, along with mechanisms by which
such policy can serve as a proxy for protectionists. Section
four develops a risk assessment model that can be used in
policy design. Section five considers the role of
institutional, firm and individual behavior in the
development and effectiveness of policy. Section six
summarizes our analysis in offering an agenda for trade talks. |
