LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Explain why command-and-control approaches to reducing pollution are inefficient.
- Explain what is meant by incentive approaches to pollution reduction and discuss examples of them, explaining their advantages and disadvantages.

The first is persuasion—people can be exhorted to reduce their emissions. The second relies on direct controls, and the third uses incentives to induce reductions in emissions.
