  • An Analysis of Elliptical Phenomena Based on Non-Constituent Deletion
    An Analysis of Elliptical Phenomena Based on Non-Constituent Deletion by Daisuke Hirai B. A., Kyoto University of Foreign Studies, 1997 M. S., University of Wisconsin-River Falls, 1999 A Dissertation Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to Kansai Gaidai University 2018 Acknowledgements It is hardly a trivial task to properly acknowledge everyone who has helped me during my research and reach this point. Without their help, this dissertation would never have come into existence or taken shape as it is. First and foremost, I would like to thank Yukio Oba, my thesis supervisor. He has given me a lot of advice and constant encouragement since I was a graduate student at Nagoya University. I am very fortunate that he invited me to study at Kansai Gaidai University and work on this topic to complete this dissertation. It has been a great pleasure to study under his guidance. I cannot thank him enough for reading my rough draft and giving me a lot of comments on it. I would also like to thank the other members of the committee, Nobuo Okada, Kansai Gaidai University, and Sadayuki Okada, Osaka University for reading my paper and giving me a lot of valuable comments. Their comments helped me look into more ellipsis-related examples. This will lead me to work on another topic as a next step. I would also like to acknowledge the past and present members of the graduate school of Kansai Gaidai University, Jun Omune and Shota Tanaka for reading my first version of this dissertation and their comments on it.

    CEEP Working Paper Series Working Paper Number 18 August 2021 North-South Displacement Effects of Environmental Regulation: The Case of Battery Recycling Shinsuke Tanaka, Kensuke Teshima, and Eric Verhoogen https://ceep.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/papers/n18.pdf North-South Displacement Effects of Environmental Regulation: The Case of Battery Recycling* Shinsuke Tanaka Kensuke Teshima Eric Verhoogen§ Aug. 2021 Abstract This study examines the effect of a tightening of the U.S. air-quality standard for lead in 2009 on the relocation of battery recycling to Mexico and on infant health in Mexico. In the U.S., airborne lead dropped sharply near affected plants, most of which were battery-recycling plants. Exports of used batteries to Mexico rose markedly. In Mexico, production increased at battery-recycling plants, relative to comparable industries, and birth outcomes deteriorated within two miles of those plants, relative to areas slightly farther away. The case provides a salient example of a pollution-haven effect between a developed and a developing country. Keywords: pollution-haven hypothesis, environmental regulation, infant health JEL Codes: F18, Q56, O15 *We thank the editor, Rohini Pande, four anonymous referees, Manuela Angelucci, Yutaka Arimoto, Shin-Yi Chou, Lucas Davis, Melissa Dell, Dave Donaldson, Manuel Estay, Alan Finkelstein, Laura Gee, Marco Gonzalez- Navarro, Gene Grossman, Rema Hanna, Danae Hern´andez-Cort´es, Akira Hibiki, Koichiro Ito, Michael Klein, Michikazu Kojima, Arik Levinson, Enrique Mart´ınez-Garc´ıa,
