Yet, whether the effects of using these instruments are sufficient, whether they are actually used efficiently, and especially which factors influence their effectiveness is subject to a lively debate. It is the ultimate task of research to identify existing barriers among economic agents so as to gain valuable insight into how to overcome them. There still is much work to be done when it comes to evaluating the effectiveness of policy instruments with regard to the achievement of environmental targets. This work examines this topic.CESifo seminar series.Environmental policyEconomic aspectsEnergy policyEnvironmental aspectsEnvironmental economicsECONOMICS/Political EconomyECONOMICS/Environmental EconomicsEnvironmental policyEconomic aspects.Energy policyEnvironmental aspects.Environmental economics.333.7Schneider Friedrich241913Kollmann Andrea1980-1546799Reichl Johannes1979-1546800OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910797421203321Political economy and instruments of environmental politics3802628UNINA
