    • In early research on transboundary acid rain, Japanese government documents and even the media rarely mention China directly as the source of acid rain. Instead, they use the more ambiguous term tairiku or "the continent." See for example, "Sansei u to no kanren shiteki: Tairiku kara no eikyou mo" (Acid rain and the influence from the continent), Nihon keizai shinbun, July 5, 1994.

    • The Montreal Protocol is generally considered a successful case of regime creation to address a global externality. However, as Oye and Maxwell point out, this case is unusual in that the largest producers of the banned substance, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), benefited from this action because they had developed alternatives. It is more common for producers of a regulated substance to be harmed by bans and lobby against regulations. See Kenneth A. Oye and James H. Maxwell, "Self-Interest and Environmental Management," in Local Commons and Global Interdependence: Heterogeneity and Cooperation in Two Domains, eds. Robert O. Keohane and Elinore Ostrom (Newbury Park, Calif.: Sage Publications, 1995), pp. 195-221.

    • Key associations involved in the Green Aid Plan include the Japan Consulting Institute, Engineering Consulting Firms Association, Japan Iron and Steel Federation, and the Japan-China Association on Economy and Trade. Keidanren (Japan Federation of Economic Organizations) is an umbrella organization and therefore is involved through the participation of its member associations such as the Japan Iron and Steel Federation, which has its offices in the Keidanren building.

    • This approach has been adopted only in one project in China supported by the Global Environment Facility. This project has provided $33 million in grants to upgrade or introduce new more efficient models of industrial boilers manufactured in China. These funds are being combined with $68 million provided by Chinese institutions to pay part or all of the licenses, royalties and technical assistance provided by Western companies selected through competitive bidding. See China Efficient Industrial Boilers: Project Document, Report No. 16132-CHA (Washington, D.C.: World Bank, Global Environmental Facility, November 1996).

    • A good example is the case of Japan's Ebara Corporation, which used approximately $12 million of its own corporate funds to demonstrate its electron-beam flue gas desulfurization process at a power plant in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. This project was completed in 1997. The company has won contracts for three projects using Green Aid Plan monies (two in China and one in the Philippines), but its request to receive funds to demonstrate the electron-beam technology were rejected, requiring the company to use internal resources in order to go forward with the demonstration of the electron-beam technology.
