Pollution control: an economic analysis of comparative policy instruments

Pritam Singh and Kathrin Weisspfennig

International Journal of Green Economics, 2007, vol. 1, issue 3/4, 419-445

Abstract: This paper presents and analyses the main pollution control instruments available to governments in a mixed capitalist economy. It is argued that the appropriateness of different instruments should not be judged a priori on ideological grounds. Instead, instruments should be selected on the basis of their relative performance against given policy objectives.

Keywords: pollution control instruments; pollution control objectives; pollution targets; sustainable development; sustainability; green economics; mixed economy; capitalist economy; policy objectives; government policy. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
