Abstract :In this paper, we investigate how a country's choice of environmental policy instrument affects the petitiveness of its firms. We show that in a Cournot-Nash equilibrium, the total marke share of firms regulated through tradeable emission permits increases relative to that of the firms operating mand and control due to better allocation of total abatement among the firms in the country. Our work suggests that free trade situations should not only result in similar environmenta standards but also in similar regulatory regimes. It e as no surprise that the environmental authorities in Canada are seriously considering following the United States in instituting a trade able emission permits mechanism.
