Abstract: 
This paper studies the effect of an emission tax on the relocation decision of firms, when a duopolistic market is characterized by vertical quality differentiation. The Nash-equilibria of relocation choices depend discontinuously on the cost of relocation φ and the quality difference λ. If also the foreign country F applies an emission tax and both governments set taxes uncooperatively, the high quality firm never relocates to F in equilibrium.
