Instrument proposed by John Dales and based on the principle that, since environment policy cannot be grounded on equalizing the marginal social cost of pollution with the marginal social benefit of abating pollution (theses functions being almost impossible to ascertain), standards of environmental quality are decided on by the government authorities. A quality standard can be defined with reference to the degree of accepted pollution corresponding to a given quantity of pollutant discharged per unit of time (for example, one year). One can then imagine this annual total quantity of pollutant being represented by bonds which would really be pollution rights. The bonds could be put on sale by the public sector in an actual market for pollution rights. These rights would be negotiable and sold at prices determined by supply and demand. 1, record 1, English, - auction%20of%20pollution%20rights

Dans la mesure où l'environnement est un bien collectif, il peut apparaître choquant de le mettre ainsi aux enchères, c'est-à-dire vendre à une minorité le droit de nuire à la majorité. 1, record 1, French, - bourse%20des%20droits%20de%20pollution
