Letter to the Editor: Comment on “Island Logic …” [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In a readable article, Busch and Sakhel (2016) plead for autarky as a solution to pressing environmental problems. This is a theme that understandably keeps reappearing in debates on environmental problems, given that trade and transport of goods contribute indirectly to pollution and resource use, also because they provide a basis for economic growth of regions and countries. Here, I will argue why the autarkic ideal must be regarded as undesirable as well as infeasible. I will, though, contend that good environmental policies are likely to reduce certain types of trade, but for good welfare and environmental reasons.
