But I don't want to stop NAFTA :) I am guessing (from what I've seen so far) that I will find it either has a positive or no effect. The little research there is (by a guy who now is in my old Center in Boston) shows that post-NAFTA Mexico imports more pollution intensive stuff from the US and focuses more to labor intensive less energy intensive stuff. And some pollutants have fallen, but the population and economy is growing so consumer related pollution may have increased. I should have done this a long time back.... procrastinating. Hopefully not too long and I will put a working paper on the web. The Symposium is in Montreal 30 Nov - 1 Dec. The Commission for Environmental Cooperation in North AMerica (set up to monitor the environment in the NAFTA zone as a result of the Heidi types :P) is sponsoring this. They will put out proceedings and eventually there will be a journal article. And maybe hopefully one day people like the Economist might cite it (if it promotes free trade) etc.... Other working papers are here: rpi.edu
