This paper analyses the relationship between pollution tax and the firm\u2019s location when considering the firm\u2019s efficiency of pollution abatement and its efficiency of production. The results find that a firm which has exhibited increasing returns to scale in pollution abatement performance in response to pollution tax increases its output level. It also shows that the firm\u2019s location depends on the efficiency of pollution abatement and production efficiency. The changes to pollution level at the urban centre due to pollution tax depends on the changes to the firm\u2019s output level, the firm\u2019s location choice, and the firm\u2019s pollution abatement performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> firm location, environmental regulations, pollution abatement, efficiency<\/p>\n<p><strong>JEL classification:<\/strong><br \/>\n<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rsijournal.eu\/ARTICLES\/December_2016\/6.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">read more<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenichi SHIMAMOTO Hirao School of Management, Konan University, Nishinomiya, Japan kenichi@center.konan-u.ac.jp Abstract Urban pollution continues to be a crucial issue in cities across the globe, especially in developing countries.
