Welcome to economicinstruments.com hosted by the School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Policy, University College Dublin and supported by UCD, the European Union (Environment Directorate) and ESRI Japan.
The objective of the site is to present, in a non-technical fashion, information on the practical use of economic instruments in environmental policy. It is envisaged that the site will be of interest to policymakers, members of the public, academics and students.
The site draws together information that has been published in hard copy format and synthesises it into a searchable database. Rather than merely providing lists of instruments, a key objective of the site is to provide details of instruments in use and, in particular, information on the performance of these instruments.
Your suggestions and comments are essential to the success of this site, in particular we welcome documentation on the performance of Economic Instruments.
Clicking on the navigation bar above will provide you with general information on Economic Instruments. In addition, you can view specific information on the use of such instruments by Sector, Theme, Instrument and Country or use the search engines below.
We acknowledge those authors of the information referenced in this site. In particular, we would like to thank Stefan Speck and Paul Ekins of Keele University and Forum for the Future (London) for access to their Eco-Tax Database.
At present, the information on the website is available in English only.
