Economic Instruments for Water Management
This book argues that the economic appeal of using water charges to promote efficiency in usage and pollution control can be constrained by institutional and operational problems. Analysing the cases of France, Mexico and Brazil, the authors 'respecti
Economic Instruments for Environmental Management
This volume presents the results of a three-year collaborative effort involving research institutions in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. Case studies demonstrate the diversity of environmental problems to which a variety of economic instruments can be applied - air and water pollution, packaging, deforestation, over-grazing, wildlife. They also show what is needed for them to work successfully and the pitfalls to avoid in introducing them, providing guidance for future applications. Written to be accessible to non-economists, the book offers source material for students and academic economists, as well as for professionals working with economic instruments.
Environmental Economics and Policy Making in Developing Countries
First published in the Planning and Public Policy journal of the Research Institute for Applied Economics (IPEA) in Rio de Janeiro, this collection of papers was written by economists in Brazil, the US, the UK, and The Netherlands. Individual topics include the use of the environmental Kuznets curve in linking environment, growth, and welfare issues; the relationship between international trade and environmental policy and the use of perverse subsidies; a risk analysis perspective of the statistical value of lives in setting environmental costs to determine health benefits; deforestation in Brazil; and climate change effects on agriculture. c.

Integrating Brazilian National Priorities and Policies in Global Environmental Issues
Adoption of climate change response options generates not only global carbon-saving benefits but also local externalities, here denominated as secondary benefits. So far funding for global warming response options, such as GEF, has discriminated against secondary benefits (SD) in their project analysis. SD, in this context, are benefits not specifically related to climate change which are locally captured. Projects in this way are ranked taking into account secondary benefits. Much of the discussion in the literature was on how many of these benefits should be deducted from funds of global warming control efforts since recipient countries would gain other benefits while reducing incremental ...
The Use of Economic Instruments in Environmental Policy
This paper looks at the role and importance of economic instruments in the context of three specific biodiversity related Multilateral Environmental Agreements. These are the Convention on international Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat (Ramsar Convention). The paper also discusses ways to improve and enhance the use of economic instruments as a means of conserving and sustaining biological diversity. (UNEP).
Market-based Instruments for Environmental Policymaking in Latin America and the Caribbean
To preserve the environment with the lowest possible cost to the social sector means that private costs should be aligned with social costs. Many governments in the Latin American and Caribbean Region are doing this now using market-based instruments (MBIs). This publication investigates the use of MBIs in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) context. The investigation covers a sample of eleven countries in the region and a cross-section of environmental issues in an urban setting.
