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. |
