Cost Effectiveness and Cost-Benefit Analysis of Air Quality Regulations
对二氧化硫法规进行成本收益分析,发现修订《清洁空气法》以降低污染控制成本可提高净收益,建议用边际成本与收益相等替代当前强制排放水平的方法。
A cost-benefit analysis of sulfur dioxide regulations concludes that the Clean Air Act should be amended to lower the cost of pollution control. Net benefits will be higher, the study shows, if marginal costs and benefits are equated instead of continuing the current method of mandating a level of emissions. A better control strategy will be more effective than stringent control even when there is great uncertainty and error. 8 references, 2 tables. (DCK)
