  • Card 16 / 30:
    Explain the logic behind the “race to the bottom” argument and the likely reason it has not occurred.

    Low-income countries can compete for jobs by reducing their environmental standards to attract business to their countries. This could lead to a competitive reduction in regulations, which would lead to greater environmental damage.

It is also costly for firms to locate far away from their customers, which many low-income countries are.
