Talk:Market-based environmental policy instruments

Several doubts
Market-based instruments are also referred to as economic or price-based policy instruments.

-> MBIs can be price-based or quantity based, see Weitzman, M. L. (1974) Prices vs quantities Review of Economic Studies, 41, 477-491

MBIs include charges, subsidies, marketable (or tradeable) permits and others including deposit/refund systems, eco-labelling, licenses, and property rights (economics).

-> charges = fees, taxes? -> I don't know what the word property rights is supposed to mean in this context, but property rights are in general no MBIs. The introduction of an MBI requires defining property rights.

Article-length bollocks
If it's concerned with law and policy, then it's not even obliquely (free-)"market-based", is it now? And what kind of a clunker term is "market-based environmental policy instrument" anyway? It's the very epitome of disingenuous bureaucratese. And the first sentence of the Taxes section leads with this oxymoric whopper: "A market-based tax approach..." This whole thing should be fed into a wood-chipper.--Froglich (talk) 21:39, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
