Weakens the “race of the bottom argument”
(1) In response to new emissions taxes in their home country, Acme Metals moves their steel production plant from Germany to Bangladesh.
(2) In response to American consumer concern over the Beluga Sturgeon being listed as an endangered species, Kazakhstan enact more stringent regulations on caviar producers.
Strengthens the "race to the bottom argument”:
(1) BMW decides to produce several of their automobile models in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where their factory is subject to more stringent U.S. environment laws.
Neither strengthens nor weakens the “race to the bottom” argument:
(1) A firm chooses to build a factory in a less developed country, with equally strong environment standards, so that it can reduce costs by paying lower wages.
