The Theory and Practice of Command and Control in Environmental Policy cover

This title was first published in 2003. Economists have had increasing success in arguing the merits of market-based approaches to environmental problems. By making polluting expensive, market-based approaches provide polluters with incentives to clean up, rather than mandates to stop polluting. These approaches include pollution taxes, transferable emissions permits and subsidies for pollution abatement. The purpose of this volume is to explore the situations where Command and Control (CAC) may not be all bad, and in fact might even have some advantages over market-based instruments (MBI).

’This book provides a unique collection of core publications from the literature of the past 30 years, hence is an excellent companion for further reading by interested students. For the wide and diverse group of those interested in or applying environmental policy in practice, this book will provide insight and understanding of the roots, the evolution and the current application windows of these basic instruments of environmental policy.’ International Journal of Environment and Pollution
