  • Policy instruments for environmental and natural resource management
    Sterner, T. (Washington, D.C.: Resources for the Future and the World Bank Stockholm, Sweden: Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, 2003)
    As Thomas Sterner points out, the economic toolkit for dealing with environmental problems has become formidable. It includes taxes, charges, permits, deposit-refund systems, labeling, and other information disclosure mechanisms. Though not all these devices are widely used, empirical application has started within some sectors, and we are beginning to see the first systematic efforts at an advanced policy design that takes due account of market-based incentives.
