Abstract: Part 1 Introduction. Part 2 Pollution control policies: controlling pollution by price and standard systems - a general equilibrium analysis specific taxes and the control of pollution - a general equilibrium analysis derived decision rules for pollution control in a general equilibrium space economy spatially differentiated air pollutant emission charges - an economic and legal analysis transferable discharge permits and the control of stationary source air pollution - a survey and synthesis the empirical properties of two classes of designs for transferable discharge permit markets approaches for reaching ambient standards in nonattainment areas - financial burden and efficiency considerations economic implications of emissions trading rules for local and regional pollutants market failure in incentive-based regulation - the case of emissions trading uncommon sense - the programme to reform pollution control policy economic instruments for environmental regulation. Part 3 Environmental law: indivisible toxic torts - the economics of joint and several liability the structure of penalties in environmental enforcement - an economic analysis private enforcement of federal environmental law. Part 4 Sustainable development policies: the poverty connection to environmental policy managing the transition - the potential role for economic policies substitution bias in a depletable resource model with administered prices an international system of tradeable CO2 entitlements - implications for economic development.
