DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT

In developing countries, the poor are especially vulnerable to environmental degradation and addressing this problem is often difficult because of weak institutional capacity. Recent Resources for the Future research in developing countries has examined the performance of innovative policy approaches like public disclosure, economic incentives, and voluntary programs for reducing pollution; the environmental impacts of the small firms and how to mitigate them; and the causes of deforestation and possible policy responses.
