Overview

Analysis shows unilateral sustainability regulations may obscure economic costs, influencing public opinion.

Key Points

  • Majority support for stringent regulations arises from voters expecting benefits while ignoring costs.
  • Survey data from 12 major OECD economies indicates a disconnect between perceived benefits and economic implications.
  • Unilateral policies are strategically employed to align with domestic public opinion amid high trade exposure.
  • Obscuring the costs of regulations can facilitate greater domestic support for these policies.
