| Abstract: | Economists typically extol the virtues of marketable discharge permits based on their ability to obtain a given environmental standard at least cost. Previous empirical studies of marketable permits have quantified the benefits from the use of permits relative to a command-and-control system in terms of cost savings. Occasionally, the benefits of a permit system are described by noting that the efficiency of such systems would allow improved environmental quality relative to a command-and-control system for the same cost. |
