Record 5 1994-03-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Anti-pollution Measures
CONT

For example, consider the case where the appropriate policy for pollution abatement meant that considerable extra costs were imposed on some firms or industry in a certain area with the result that their competitive position would be badly threatened (nationally or internationally) and considerable local unemployment would ensue. In such a situation many authorities would be under pressure to abstain from the appropriate anti-pollution instrument and replace it by some measure that would be less efficient, from the resource allocation point of view, such as a subsidy to the industry concerned to install less-polluting techniques of production.

Key term(s)
