Benefits and Costs of Regulating the Environment: Eight Case Studies

H Bonus and H Niebaum

Environment and Planning C, 1997, vol. 15, issue 3, 329-346

Abstract: Environmental regulation yields benefits as well as costs. Regulation is inefficient if the benefits do not match the costs. By referring to eight current case studies, the authors analyse the costs of inefficient environmental regulation in Germany. This is done partly in comparison with European Union solutions. The studies are taken from the consumer products, energy, and chemical industries.
