Analyze how environmental concerns impact economic decisions

Answering the following:

Corporations often “vote with their feet” in terms of doing business where expenses are lowest and revenues are highest. Buying low and selling high is a basic economic formula for success that has motivated international trade in many ways over the centuries. This is popularly discussed when governments consider tax policies and is also applicable when they also consider the less obvious factor of environmental protections laws. If Mexico has no ban on DDT (a pesticide used in agriculture) and the USA has banned the use (but not the manufacture) of DDT, should a corporation buy land in Mexico, import DDT from the USA, grow larger crops, and export them to the USA?
What ethical duties does the corporation have to the workers in Mexico, the neighboring landowners, and the USA consumers about the potential dangers of using DDT?
Is there an ethical duty of DDT manufactures related to their export of DDT to countries that do not ban its use as the USA does?
Do you agree that environmental protection laws are “less obvious” as suggested above? Why/why not? (Please use examples here, local if possible, that have relevance).

Please do not give the history of DDT or the chemical compounds within the same as an introduction for this Unit’s DF. You can absolutely mention the effects of it as part of the response to the questions presented, but there is no need to revisit the basics of the material.

— The Fable of the Bees – this is a three page article about a two-volume work that was written around 1700 using a style of English that is nearly incomprehensible to most readers. For the bees, their economic system was synonymous with their natural environment. Economics is taught in some schools as a liberal art, while other schools consider it a commercial tool.
