Abstract
I build a two-country general oligopolistic equilibrium model, in which sectors differ in
emissions and technologies, and pollution can be transboundary. I derive the optimal
bilateral environmental policy for the economy as a whole, for the cases in which the
environmental damage either linearly or quadratically increases in total pollution. The
analysis highlights that the optimal emission tax can even be negative, and bilateral trade
liberalization should be matched with either a rise or a fall in the optimal emission tax.
The moments of the emission distribution and technology distribution across sectors are
fundamental to implement optimal environmental policies.
