Jean-Marie Grether and Nicole A. Mathys's indicator measures the ratio of pollution content per dollar of exports to pollution content per dollar of imports for a country. The Pollution Terms of Trade (PTT) index, introduced by Werner Antweiler, is inversely correlated with net environmental gains from trade, where a value below 1 suggests a country specializes in 'clean' goods. The dataset is used to investigate the 'pollution haven' hypothesis, where countries with laxer environmental regulations may attract polluting industries.
