What are corrective taxes? Why do economists prefer them to regulations as a way to protect the environment from pollution?
It’s common to think that reducing pollution is necessarily costly because to reduce pollution we need to tax firms who will then produce less. But can you think of one example in which pollution might not only be unpleasant but might actually reduce production?
Economists offer two major potential policies to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions: pollution taxes and cap-and-trade programs.
Which do you think would be most effective at reducing emissions? Discuss the pros and cons of each, as well as the difference between the two policies.
