. 1. Discuss the different incentive-based policies which are available
in environmental economics. [10]

Incentive-Based Policies in Environmental Economics
Incentive-based policies are economic tools that encourage environmentally friendly behavior by
creating financial incentives or disincentives.

Unlike traditional command-and-control regulations, which dictate specific pollution control
measures, these policies provide flexibility for firms to choose the most cost-effective methods to
reduce environmental impact.

www.epa.gov


Here are some of the most common incentive-based policies:

1. Pollution Charges (or Taxes)

 Mechanism: A fee is imposed on each unit of pollution emitted.

 Impact: Firms have an incentive to reduce emissions to minimize costs.

 Example: Carbon tax on fossil fuel consumption.

2. Tradable Permits

 Mechanism: Government issues a fixed number of permits allowing a certain level of
pollution. Permits can be bought and sold.
