Abstract
Industrial production generates global pollution that in turn causes environmental degradation—currently one of the most serious global problems. The main reason why this problem is difficult to solve is that less developed countries do not have the ability and financial resources necessary to control pollution. Furthermore, their governments often prioritize economic growth at the expense of environmental quality.
This paper was originally published by the Review of Development Economics as an article in its Vol. 11 (2007) issue.
