Summary
In this chapter, we describe non-market-based instruments. We start with a discussion on standards, highlighting the difference between pollution and energy standards. We then describe direct control measures. In this chapter, as in the previous one, we provide an illustration of whether these instruments are cost-effective and efficient from an economic point of view. Also, we discuss the relation between the presence of behavioural anomalies and the effectiveness of non-market-oriented instruments. At the end of the chapter, we discuss issues in developing countries related to the topics discussed in the chapter.
