| NEW EPA REPORT ON ECONOMIC INCENTIVES |
News 24 of 26
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released a new report on international experience with using economic incentives for environmental pollution control prepared by the National Center for Environmental Economics (NCEE).
This report reviews experiences outside the United States with economic instruments for managing the environment, including air and water quality, water quantity, solid and hazardous wastes. It represents an update and extension of one chapter in the 1997 report by Anderson and Lohof to the US Environmental Protection Agency. That report found widespread use of economic instruments for managing the environment, including some applications not observed in the United States. Seven
years later, this report identifies new instruments, more widespread application of older instruments, and greater acceptance of incentive-based mechanisms in environmental management.
