“…Naito (2003) also shows a possibility of Pareto-improvement by international transfer without environmental policies. Schweinberger and Woodland (2008) incorporate the capital accumulation to analyze the effects of tied aid on pollution abatement, pollution and employment in the short and long run. 4 Copeland and Taylor (1994) also analyze the effect of an international transfer in the case of local pollution.…”

This paper examines the effects of international transfer on pollution permits, which are determined non‐cooperatively by a donor and a recipient. First, we show that the untied international transfer decreases the pollution permits of the recipient, and may be welfare‐improving for both countries if pollution is transboundary. Second, we introduce a full‐compensatory emission‐contingent transfer and show that it may reduce the emission of pollution in the recipient country and may increase the welfare of the donor, while keeping the recipient's welfare constant.

“…The third paper further considers a country's strategy to tie aid to another important and topical policy issue, namely the reduction of pollution: Schweinberger and Woodland (2006), 'The Short and Long Run Effects of Tied Foreign Aid on Pollution Abatement, Pollution and Employment', Journal of Environmental Economics and Management. In contrast to the prevailing view in the literature, the analysis shows that aid tied to pollution abatement will actually increase pollution.…”

This citation acknowledges Professor Alan Woodland as an eminent Australian economist and surveys his exceptional international record of scholarship and research with a selection of his insightful contributions to the understanding of the complex issues of international trade, taxation and welfare. These issues are at the forefront of our nation’s economic priorities and it is appropriate that we formally recognise his outstanding contributions to the discipline study of economics with the award of Distinguished Fellow of the Economic Society of Australia.

“…Chao and Yu (1999) study the welfare effects of environmental aid. Schweinberger and Woodland (2008) consider the effect of tied on abatement and employment, while Hadjiyiannis et al (2013) study the issue of aid competition and aid fungiblility. 3 While Chao and Yu (1999) also derive the conditions under which environmental aid is immiserizing, their setup is static.…”

“…We further assume that it is financed by foreign aid. In contrast to both Chao and Yu (1999) and Schweinberger and Woodland (2008), we make a distinction between emission as a flow and pollutant stock as in Beladi et al (2013). Hence, our model is dynamic whereas both models in Chao and Yu (1999) and Schweinberger and Woodland (2008) are static.…”

This paper provides a Ricardian general equilibrium model to study the effect of foreign aid aimed at abating pollution in a small southern recipient economy. The government faces a dynamic problem as it chooses the emission level and abates pollution. The stock of pollution damages consumers and its law of motion is influenced by emission level and the stock of pollution as well as the level of abatement. We show that such type of aid increases emissions, but its effect on pollution stock is ambiguous in the absence of trade. With trade, aid reduces both pollution and emissions given that the recipient country has comparative advantage in the pollution-intensive good. Moreover, such type of aid can be immiserizing with or without trade.
