Transnational corporations, environmental quality and sustainable growth

Transnational corporations, in addition to affecting economic growth in host countries through the channels described in the four preceding chapters, also influence the quality of the physical environment, with implications for the long-run sustainability of growth. The relationships of TNCs, environmental quality and economic growth to each other are complex. The present chapter identifies the principal relationships, presents evidence on the environmental role of TNCs and outlines some policy implications.
