- Description
- This study estimates the strength of pollution-haven-seeking behaviour by foreign firms investing in China by examining the location choices of equity joint venture (EJV) projects. A location choice model is constructed and an econometric model derived incorporating the results from 2,886 manufacturing joint venture projects from 1993-96. Data is also included from the annual Chinese environmental and economic censuses. This document is World Bank Policy Research Working Paper 3505, published in February 2005.

- Description
- This report (in 21 parts) presents a set of objectives, goals, methodologies and a checklist for assessment and communication of environmental risks potentially associated with coastal aquaculture. Six case studies illustrate the use of environmental risk assessment methodologies in coastal aquaculture discussing benthic community changes, shellfish farming, interbreeding of wild and escaped farm cod, fish farming waste, soil salinisation due to low-salinity shrimp farming and coastal aquaculture's potential effects on algal blooms.
