Environmental taxes and policies for developing countries
/
Bruce, Neil
Increasing urbanization and industrialization can exacerbate pollution problems in developing countries. Tax revenues in developing countries are too low to support adequate infrastructure for treating and disposing of wastes, but the problem is also attributable to the classic problem of externalities in productiion and consumption. "Externalities [...]

Alternative policies for the control of air pollution in Poland
/
Bates, Robin
Like other Central European countries, Poland faces the twin challenges of improving environmental quality while also promoting economic development. This study examines the cost of achieving alternative emission standards and the savings in abatement cost that might be achieved with policies that rely on economic incentives rather than with rigid [...]

Sulfur dioxide control by electric utilities: what are the gains from trade
/
Carlson, Curtis
Title IV of the 1990 US Clean Air Act Amendments established a market for transferable sulfur dioxide emission allowances among electric utilities. The market offers firms facing high marginal costs for pollution abatement the opportunity to purchase the right to emit sulfur dioxide from firms with lower costs. It is expected to yield more cost sav [...]

Surviving success: policy reform and the future of industrial pollution in China
/
Dasgupta, Susmita
China's recent industrial growth, a remarkable success story, has been clouded by hundreds of thousands of premature deaths and incidents of serious respiratory illness caused by exposure to industrial air pollution. Seriously contaminated by industrial discharges, many of China's waterways are largely unfit for direct human use. This damage could [...]

Using economic policy to improve environmental protection in Pakistan
/
Faruqee, Rashid
The author studies Pakistan's major environmental problems, both green and brown, and assesses the extent to which economic policies affect incentives to protect the environment. Experience in other countries shows that nondistortionary economic policies that promote economic growth by improving the allocation of resources also create appropriate i [...]

A presumptive pigouvian tax on gasoline: analysis of an air pollution control program for Mexico City
/
Eskeland, Gunnar S.
Without continuous monitoring of emissions, a pollution control agency needs to evaluate abatement options itself. Apart from making activities cleaner, it should also stimulate reductions in the level of activity in polluting sectors. The author develops an analytical framework to show that a tax on a variable input, such as gasoline, is useful fo [...]

Urban air quality management strategy in Asia. Jakarta Report
/
Shah, Jitendra J.
Tremendous growth in the human population, numbers of vehicles, and industrial development in the Jabotabek region have led to a significant deterioration in air quality in Jakarta. Near the main roads, in the most industrialized and polluted areas, annual TSP (total suspended particle) averages are 5 to 6 times the national air quality standard. H [...]

Taxing bads by taxing goods: pollution control with presumptive charges
/
Eskeland, Gunnar S.
Solving environmental problems, in both developing and industrial countries, appears to be more challenging than merely applying a fee on polluters. The purpose of this book is to show that indirect instruments designed to reduce the scale of output can be important complementary measures in a cost-effective pollution control program. Examples of s [...]

Eighty percent of the Metro Manila population live in areas where the national standard for air quality is exceeded, where average TSP (total suspended particle) concentrations are frequently five times higher than the World Health Organization Air Quality Guidelines (WHO ACQ). Long-term measured lead levels also exceed both national and WHO AQC. A [...]

Public expenditures and environmental protection. When is the cost of funds irrelevant
/
Eskeland, Gunnar S.
Assume that a public program -- whether in the form of public expenditures or regulation of private activities -- provides not only a public good to consumers but also a collective input (say, a less polluted water source for brewers, or better roads for their trucks). In a context of optimal taxation and constant returns to scale, the author shows [...]

Endogenous enforcement and effectiveness of China's pollution levy system
/
Wang,Hua
The authors investigate two aspects of China's pollution levy system, which was first implemented about 20 years ago. First, they analyze what determines differences in enforcement of the pollution levy in various urban areas. They find that collection of the otherwise uniform pollution levy is sensitive to differences in economic development and e [...]

Externalities and production efficiency
/
Eskeland, Gunnar S.
The author brings together two of government's primary challenges: environmental protection, and taxation to generate revenues. If negative externalities can be reduced not only by changes in consumption patterns, but also by making each activity cleaner (abatement efforts), how shall inducements to various approaches be combined? If negative exter [...]
