Abstract: Abstract In this paper we are concerned with the contribution of econometrics to environmental policy. The contribution of econometrics to public policy lies in the fact that it provides decision-makers with the possibility of conducting experiments before taking political measures. Of course, during the phase of model-building and testing of hypotheses much insight is gained into the mechanisms of the economic system, but the ultimate purpose of econometrics is simulation.
