| Tiivistelmä: | Economists, policy analysts, and others contend that firms should pay the full social costs of the goods they produce, including the environmental costs. Some developed countries, including the United States through its Superfund legislation, are now applying the polluter-pay principle retroactively to past pollution. Other governments in eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and the developing world, as they privatize public enterprises, are also hoping to avoid the costs of cleaning up old pollution by transferring this liability to new private owners. |
