逐底競爭
介紹
政府这种放松管制的做法降低了企业的經營成本，因而位於劳动力成本较高、环境标准较嚴或税收较高的国家/地区的企業可能会遷移至监管较少的国家和地区，这反过来又使劳动力成本较高的國家試圖降低监管，藉此希望該國的企业能繼續留在境內，這會推动各國競相降低最低监管标准。

But the race to the bottom operates more subtly than most people suppose. The regressions suggest that while countries do compete with each other by instituting laws that are unfriendly to workers, such competition is not that pronounced. The real problem is that countries compete by enforcing labour laws less vigorously than they might—leading to increases in violations of labour rights prescribed in local laws. Competition between countries to attract investment is less in rules than in their practical application.
