Integration Plotted against Pollution and Mortality Outcomes.
Starting from the upper left-hand corner, and moving clockwise, the scatterplots shown in Fig 1 demonstrate the linear relationships between countries’ logged integration values (found on the x- axis of each plot) and the logged values (found on the y-axis) for i) Production-based SO2, ii) Under 5 Mortality, iii) Infant Mortality, iv) Normalized Efficiency Measure, and v) Consumption-based SO2.

Global Map showing Countries’ Integration and Patterns of Imports.
Taken together, the map gives a heuristic sense for some of the global trade patterns, showing how well-integrated countries consist of both developed (e.g. USA, Germany and Japan) and developing (e.g. China and India) economies, and how these well-integrated countries differ according to their import patterns.
