1. Incentive-Based Policies in Environmental Economics [10]
Incentive-based policies in environmental economics are strategies designed to
encourage businesses and individuals to reduce their environmental impact through
economic incentives rather than through direct regulations. These policies are often
more flexible and cost-effective than traditional command-and-control regulations. The
main types of incentive-based policies include:
1. Emissions Trading (Cap-and-Trade) Systems
• Description: A cap is set on the total level of emissions allowed, and permits or
allowances are distributed or auctioned to firms. Firms can trade these permits,
creating a financial incentive to reduce emissions.
