Most people would agree that it makes sense to tax a company that
pollutes in a way that directly reflects the amount of
environmental and social damage it has done. Yet in practice, such
taxes are fraught with difficulty and have far-reaching
implications. A company facing a new tax may lay off workers, for
example, exacerbating an unemployment problem. This volume focuses
on such external issues and examines in detail the trade-offs
involved in designing policies to deal with environmental problems.
Reflecting the broad nature of the subject, the contributors
include leading economists in the areas of public finance,
industrial organization and trade theory, as well as environmental
economists. Integrating both theoretical and empirical methods,
they examine environmental policy design as it relates to location
decisions, compliance costs, administrative costs, effects on
research and development, and international factor movements.
Shedding light on an extraordinarily complex and important topic,
this collection should be of interest to all those involved in
designing effective environmental policy.
