Choosing Environmental Policy
Choosing Environmental Policy:
Comparing Instruments and Outcomes in the United States and Europe
Thursday, June 17, 2004
RFF Forum
RFF hosts a special event surrounding the release of Choosing Environmental Policy, a new RFF Press book that focuses on six different environmental problems that were managed differently on opposite shores of the Atlantic, mostly during the 1990s.
Edited by RFF senior fellows Winston Harrington and Richard Morgenstern and university fellow Thomas Sterner, the book also looks at the two distinct approaches to environmental policy: direct regulation – sometimes called “command and control” policies – and regulation by economic, or market-based, incentives. The cases in Choosing Environmental Policy allow the sharpest, most direct comparisons of direct regulation and incentive-based strategies, based on actual experiences in different countries. This book was funded in part by generous grants from The Smith Richardson Foundation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. |
