OBJECTIVES:
To enable coordination between researchers working on market based environmental policy instruments in Europe; to improve the interface with the policy process; and to provide a holistic assessment of the properties and limitations of Economic Instruments for the purpose of environmental regulation.
DESCRIPTION:
The Concerted Action proceeds through:
i) plenary meetings to set policy, assign responsibility, and review progress;
ii) theme groups to establish the state of the art, tracing the implications for the policy process and for further research;
iii) workshops and conferences to disseminate the findings, with specific reference to the policy process;
iv) synthesis and a comparison of research objectives, results and methods;
v) publication and dissemination of the insights for and from the policy process;
vi) an Independent Review group which comprises researchers and policy users and evaluates progress during the research.
Specifically the state of the art is presented, the lessons from research distilled, the opportunities for synergy identified, and the implications for environmental and broader economic (including employment) policy and further research developed in the following areas:
i) Types of Instrument - Voluntary agreements, the assignment of property rights, tradeable permits, the integration of regulation and market-based instruments;
ii) Implementation Issues - Transaction costs, innovation and costeffectiveness in application, Political Economy, Subsidiarity, Social Partners cost minimisation issues;
iii) Other Issues - Transfrontier pollution, competitiveness, Valuation, sectoral and income distributional issues are all addressed within the Concerted Action.
