Variance Design and Air Pollution Control
Ferrar, Terry A.; Brownstein, Alan B.
Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association, 25, 6, 602-604, Jun 75
Air pollution control authorities were forced to relax air quality standards during the winter of 1972 by granting variances. This paper examines the institutional characteristics of these variance policies from an economic incentive standpoint, sets up desirable structural criteria for institutional design and arrives at policy guidelines for future use.
