First published in 1985, Emissions Trading was a comprehensive
review of the first large-scale attempt to use economic incentives
in environmental policy in the United States; since its publication
it has consistently been one of the most widely cited works in the
tradable permits literature. The second edition of this classic
study of pollution reform considers how the use of transferable
permits to control pollution has evolved over the last twenty-five
years. Initially little more than an academic curiosity, the use of
tradable permits eventually became the centerpiece of both the U.S.
program to control acid rain and the European approach to
controlling greenhouse gases. The second edition of Emissions
Trading skillfully weaves together a vast amount of theoretical and
empirical information, offering a thorough survey of what we have
learned about this important environmental policy instrument after
twenty-five years of theorizing, conducting empirical research, and
evaluating the implementation experience. outlines what has been
learned to date about the appropriate niche for this instrument and
identifies best practices for the design of effective programs.
