Priority Pollution Rights: Adapting Pollution Control to a Variable Environment
研究表明,优先污染权系统在适应环境同化能力变化时,比传统控制手段更灵活、更高效地利用私人技术和成本信息,但需警惕市场中的策略行为。
Evidence suggests that a priority pollution rights system has much greater flexibility and makes more-efficient use of privately held technological and cost information than alternative instruments of control in adapting pollutant-discharge rates to variations in the assimilative capabilities of the environment. Possibilities of undesirable forms of strategic behavior in the market warrant further investigation, but such possibilities exist under all instruments. Successful experience with priority water rights in the western United States bodes well for similar systems in the field of pollution control. 13 references, 1 figure.
