Overview

In the field of environmental policy, economic instruments, such as taxes and charges on emissions, financial assistance, user charges, taxes on polluting products and marketable permits, can be a powerful, market-based complement to direct regulations. This book presents guidelines developed by the OECD for the practical application of economic instruments to deal with air, water, waste and noise pollution. They target economic sectors which have a major impact on the environment (energy, transport, agriculture and industry). Intended for use by governments, these guidelines should also prove of interest to business, industry and public sector groups concerned about environment and sustainable economic development.
