Abstract
In the previous chapters we consider a point economy without any spatial dimensions. In the next three chapters we introduce the spatial dimension into our analysis. When we take into account the spatial extent of the environmental system, we introduce a set of interesting allocation problems. In the following discussion we study the environmental allocation of spatial systems from a national, global and regional perspective.1

Notes
For a more detailed discussion of the international aspect, compare Long and Siebert (1991), Rauscher (1991), Siebert (1977c, 1978a, 1985 ), Siebert et al. (1980) and Rauscher (1990). Also compare Pethig (1976, 1982) and Walter (1975).
Compare any textbook of international trade.
It is conceivable that the comparative price advantage is “turned around” by environmental policy. In such a case the home country would export the environmentally favorable product.
