The substantial recent literature on environmental economics is reviewed and related to Ontario environmental policy. Topics include the theory of externalities as an explanation of environmental problems, policy objectives, costs of information and monitoring, and the impact of these costs on control policy selection. Three case studies of specific pollution problems - sulphur dioxide from a smelter, lead from downtown factories, and urban automobile emissions - are given, and possible solutions explored. The authors' methodology is applicable not only to air and water pollution but also to noise, aesthetic degradation, and solid waste. This study will be welcomed by specialists, civil servants, and students trying to understand the economic aspects of environmental maintenance.Ontario Economic Council research studies ;v 1.Environmental policyPollutionEconomic aspectsEnvironmental policyOntarioOntariofastEnvironmental policy.PollutionEconomic aspects.Environmental policy301.31Dewees Donald 121421Everson C.K887795Sims William887796DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910149200803321Economic Analysis of Environmental Policies1983144UNINA
