Abstract: The environmental impact of trade is one of principal topics in the discussion of global environment issues. In this paper, some impacts of trade on regional energy demand, air pollutants emissions and carbon dioxide emission, are estimated in the case of the trade of industrial products between Asia and Japan in 1985. Quantity avoided by the import of industrial products and quantity induced owing to the export of the same products are evaluated with respect to regional demand for primary energy and the emissions of air pollutants and carbon dioxide. These are compared across regions. This paper also discusses the implications of the result for global environment and regional environment strategies.
