Abstract:
This report summarizes the results of a one-year effort to evaluate the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Emissions Trading Policy under six criteria meant to be relevant, neutral and fair: the Policy's ability to improve air quality; and its real or potential effects on cost-effectiveness, economic development, technological innovation, the administration and enforceability of the Clean Air Act, and its legal feasibility. The report was co-funded with the Federal Republic of Germany Ministry of the Interior and the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
