Abstract

Eco-labelling has been introduced in a number of countries2 for a wide variety of products.3 This chapter analyses the effects of eco-labelling both on the environment and on international trade. It first establishes the conditions under which the introduction of labelling would have a beneficial impact on the environment and suggests an appropriate empirical test. Then it assesses the consequences of labelling schemes for international trade. Four factors are identified as important: the distribution of environmental concern, the structure of the market, the nature of environment-friendly technology and the precise form of labelling policy.
