Their comparison of existing policies reveals the similarities and differences between the two countries. In conclusion, the book offers a number of suggestions for improvements in policy instruments aimed at preventing and abating pollution in both countries. In particular, the authors emphasize the possible role of economic instruments that they compare to a choice of instruments already in practice.
