These policies have influenced the structure of several economies, transforming and bringing them toward more environment-friendly patterns, but they should always be designed to minimize risks from capture and rent-seeking behaviors. More advanced countries need to invest in frontier innovation through research and development, while lower-income countries (with more limited technological capacity) should focus on adapting and disseminating technologies already developed and demonstrated. Green policies interact with trade, not through the much publicized but seldom observed "pollution haven" effects, but rather by creating opportunities for developing (1) exports of green products and (2) imports to facilitate the adoption of greener, more efficient technologies.
