POLICY INSTRUMENTS

Decades after the first wave of environmental regulation, policymakers now have many choices when seeking to address environmental problems. Until recently, command and control approaches like emission and technology standards, were the dominant regulatory strategies. Today, incentive-based approaches, like emission taxes and cap and trade programs, are widely accepted as effective regulatory approaches.
