Environmental Instruments and Institutions (Environmental Analysis and Economic Policy series, 6)

Economic Incentives are playing an increasingly important role in pollution control.
This authoritative collection – edited by leading contributors to the field – presents the most important published work on the legal and economic instruments and institutions which have been used during the last thirty years to control pollution.

The papers focus on issues of instrument design, implementation, enforcement and evaluation, and consider strategies for coping with uncertainty and ‘second-best’ situations.
