’In the field of environmental policy there is a widespread tendency to move from command-and-control towards market based instruments, that are more efficient and less costly. This book provides a fresh contribution to the literature enlightening the most relevant characteristics of economic tools, with a comprehensive review of experiences in the EU, the Asia-Pacific region and North-America. Even if this is a technical book, the language is plain and the comprehension easy. There is much to learn in reading it.’
