Abstract

In all societies, economic growth and development are followed as positive goals. However, they have negative effects in other fields such as environment. In recent years, discussions about externalities of globalization and free trade have shaped, proposing the pollution haven hypothesis (PHH) and thereby revealing the massive share of trade and the importance of globalization in transferring pollutants. We have used the ARDL approach to cointegration to identify long run relationships between variables in the PHH models about Iran-China trade relationship on time series data (1987 to 2004). We separate dirty industries from green ones by ISIC codes. We present models for each ISIC codes and one model to examine whether the PHH could still be true if all dirty industries were aggregated. Results show that EKC is N-shaped and the share of manufacturing products in CO2 emission is enormous but output of our estimation didn’t support the PHH in aggregated model although in detailed models, such as models with 34 and 35 ISIC codes, the existence of PHH cannot be rejected.
