| Abstract |
|
|
|
| Theoretical
exposition of the trade-environment linkage (in the form of Environment
Kuznets Curve) has been extensive. While one set of studies show
that with the increase in per capita income environmental degradation
would decline, the other set of studies has shown that no such trend
exists for developing countries. Though environmental laws are in
place, firms display a very low level of compliance in developing
countries. This article brings out the low level of compliance to
environmental regulations in India while trying to identify the
main causes. |
