dc.description.abstractThe current study is motivated by the poor performances of South Asian countries in world trade and investigates the effects of environmental regulation on the food and agricultural trade of four South Asian nations, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. For this study, the Gravity Model for international trade analysis was used with country- and time-specific fixed effects. Results of the coefficient estimates reveal that even though there appears to be a relationship between stringent regulations and foreign trade without these specific effects, its significance fades as soon as both the importing and exporting country-specific effects are taken into consideration.en
