Abstract: Air pollution is a major environmental concern in Chile. There is a growing international interest in the use of economic instruments to abate pollution considering they are more efficient and flexible. This study looks at the performance of two economic instruments used in prevention or decontamination plans: emissions taxes and tradable emission permits. The paper evaluates the performance of these instruments based on their economic efficiency and other legal considerations. The main elements of both schemes are also discussed in a case study on Greater Concepción, which shows the importance of making these instruments law.
