With this has come the question of what are the appropriate types of public interventions in the economy to control this flow. The most dramatic of the interventions have involved adoption of high recycling targets for specific fractions of the waste stream and special measures to deal with packaging waste, especially in a number of European countries. Questions are being raised about whether the targets and inventions are warranted on the basis of economic analysis, especially about the costs and benefits of the objectives and the instruments to achieve them. This paper reviews the published and some unpublished literature through the spring of 1993 and generally finds that the conceptual and empirical basis on which to predicate efficient and effective solid waste management policy is still rather incomplete. The only principled basis for public interventions thus far established in the economics literature is that for user fees at the household level. The paper analyzes the role of waste management fees or user charges in rationalizing investment in waste management technology and finds that, while there is wide agreement that the prices are not right in this environmental area, there is little focus on the role that such fees can play in motivation source reduction at the consumer or household level. A number of recommendations are made for using economic instruments for efficient solid waste management.

Mexico City's experience with vehicle use restrictions is described and its failure analysed. It is argued that Mexico City took a step in the right direction, but failed to make the restrictions flexible, thereby making the policy perverse. A programme of tradable vehicle use permits is presented and described that would provide the needed flexibility and promote urban sustainability.

The phrase "NWT", but not the definition, was an unending source of confusion during the seminar, and is an issue to be discussed below. This report is divided into three parts: Part I gives a brief synopsis of the seminar, and Part II is an evaluation of the concept and an attempt to give more precision to its meaning, and Part III is concerned with the methods of achieving NWT, and its implications, especially from an economic perspective.

In the U.S., perhaps the world's best (worst?) example of the overuse of the private automobile, a full 31 % of its carbon dioxide emissions are generated in the transport sector. While it used to be just Los Angeles in the news over its chronic vehicle generated air quality problems, in the last two decades added to the list are Atlanta,

This article reviews Mexico City's experience with vehicle use restrictions as an emissions control program and develops the conditions for optimal quantitative restrictions on vehicle use and for complementary abatement technologies. The stochastic nature of air pollution outcomes is modelled explicitly in both the static and dynamic formulations of the control problem, in which for the first time in the literature the use of tradeable vehicle use permits is proposed as a cost-effective complement to technological abatement for mobile emissions control. This control regime gives the authorities a broader and more flexible set of instruments with which to deal more effectively with vehicle emissions, and with seasonal and stochastic variation of air quality outcomes. The market in tradeable vehicle use permits would be very competitive with low transactions costs. This control policy would have very favorable impacts on air quality, vehicle congestion and on urban form and development. Given the general political resistance to environmental taxes, this program could constitute a workable and politically palatable set of policies for controlling greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector.

These problems are frequently blamed on unrestricted use of private vehicles. This paper applies the concept of sustainability to urban areas by formulating an explicit ecological constraint on airshed capacity in a region within a model of cost-effective emissions control. Solution of the model suggests that restrictions on vehicle use should play a role in achieving regional air-quality targets cost-effectively. A tradable vehicle-use permit system is described for implementing the sustainability constraint, and its relationship to other demand management proposals for constraining vehicle use is discussed, as well as the implications for the form and vitality of urban areas. This control policy would have substantially favourable impacts on air quality, vehicle congestion and ...

Chapter 1 in this volume hinted at the problems caused by combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and storm sewer overflows (SSOs) that motivate much of the need to have more effective methods for dealing with runoff Contents
