Abstract As countries worldwide attempt to address
a series of global and domestic environmental challenges, the pollution haven
effect remains an ongoing concern among trade and environment researchers and
policymakers. This paper examines the pollution haven effect in the context of
global value chains using inter-country input-output data at the manufacturing
industry level from 1995-2009. This paper pays special attention to the issue
of “double-counting” caused by intermediate trade. The analysis utilizes two outsourcing
measures and two revealed comparative advantage measures appropriate for
analyzing global value chains. I propose women’s political power as a novel
instrumental variable to address the endogeneity of environmental regulation.
Regression results show that more stringent environmental policies are not a
significant determinant of manufacturing outsourcing and competitiveness in global
value chains. At the same time, women’s political power is associated with more
stringent environmental policies.
