“…27 There is some evidence that, despite the supposed neutrality of the refund mechanism, plants that are net providers of fee refunds have undertaken more abatement than those that are net recipients (OECD, 1997). 28 This section is based on Atkinson and Tietenberg (1991); Foster and Hahn (1995); Hahn and Hester (1989); Kete (1994); and Tietenberg (1990a and1990b). 29 The CAC regime has three main components: national ambient air quality standards for six different pollutants, state implementation plans that specify emissions standards and other controls necessary to meet the ambient air quality standards, and best available technology standards for a variety of sources.…”

To what extent should developing countries eschew conventional command and control environmental regulation that is increasingly seen as inefficient and rely instead on economic incentives? This paper addresses this question as it pertains to industrial air pollution. The paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various economic incentive instruments, presents in-depth case studies of their application in Sweden, the United States, China, and Poland, and proposes a number of policy guidelines. We argue that both design deficiencies and pervasive constraints on monitoring and enforcement impede the effectiveness of economic instruments in developing countries. The latter are difficult to rectify, at least in the medium term. As a result, tradable permits are generally not practical. Suitably modified however, emissions fee policies probably are appropriate. They can provide a foundation for a transition to an effective economic incentive system, and can raise much needed revenue for environmental projects and programs. In addition, if political opposition can be overcome, environmental taxes constitute a second-best but potentially effective pollution control instrument.

Sustainable development at both the national and the global level is increasingly acknowledged to be dependent upon the international trade system. The WTO Agreements and the continuing discussion in the W-IO Committee on Trade and Environment are therefore examined here in the light of principles put forward by the International Institute for Sustainable Development. The current shortcomings in the WTO are analysed and some possible cornerstones for future WTO development indicated.
