This publication offers valuable lessons for applying tradeable permits and provides links between policy evaluation and policy making general.

This book reviews the issues related to the implementation of domestic tradable permits systems in different areas (air, water, land) and in several OECD countries.

This publication provides a systematic analysis of the various approaches, challenges, conditions and potential solutions relating to the design and introduction of domestic transferable permit schemes.

This book presents the proceedings of an OECD workshop on domestic tradeable permits which provides an analysis of recent developments in the use of domestic TPs in new areas including climate change, renewable energy, transport, solid waste management, and water resources management.

The first edition of Public Policies for Environmental Protection contributed significantly to the incorporation of economic analysis in the study of environmental policy. Fully revised to account for changes in the institutional, legal, and regulatory framework of environmental policy, the second edition features updated chapters on the EPA and federal regulation, air and water pollution policy, and hazardous and toxic substances. It includes entirely new chapters on market-based environmental policies, global climate change, solid waste, and, for the first time, coverage of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Portney, Stavins, and their contributors provide an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and journalists---anyone who needs up-to-date information on U.S. environmental policy. With their careful explanation of policy alternatives, the authors provide an ideal book for students in courses about environmental economics or environmental politics.
