Environmental taxation in practice

Since the 1980's, market-based instruments for environmental policy have become increasingly important.

Focusing on environmental taxation in practice, this volume collects key contributions on a wide range of topics, including comparisons of environmental taxation schemes in different countries, political economy issues and key aspects of concrete implementation.

It presents a wealth of ex-ante and ex-post analyses, intended as a source of guidance for policy implementation and research.

The volume features a full-length introduction locating the literature on environmental taxation in practice in a wider context of theoretical and applied issues.
