Some Strategies for Environmental Remediation
Peterson, Jerrold M.
Journal of Environmental Education, 7, 2, 2-8, 75
Analyzed are three strategies for reducing or eliminating environmental pollution: private market, legal, and effluent tax. Since private market solutions function well only with small numbers of parties and legal solutions oscillate too much, the author recommends effluent taxes. This strategy optimizes the abatement benefits and implementation costs. (MR)
