Environmental Policy: Lessons from the Laboratory

Stuart Mestelman

McMaster Experimental Economics Laboratory Publications from McMaster University

Abstract: The controlled laboratory experiment is spreading rapidly as a method for evaluating theories of economic behaviour and policy prescriptions. Environmental regulation is an area that is ripe for laboratory investigation. This paper presents insights drawn from the existing literature using laboratory methods in economics and related disciplines on the use of taxation and subsidy, standards and fines, transferable quota, and voluntary restraint as mechanisms for environmental regulation.
