Definition

  • Market-based environmental regulation involves the use of one or more economic policy instruments by government agencies to regulate the environment. Such regulation is enacted as a means to an end—usually incentives to cost-effectively control air, water, or land pollution—though similar policies have been enacted for other purposes.
