Cost-effective policies to improve urban air quality in Santiago, Chile
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the applicability of market-based incentives for controlling particulate matter emissions from fixed sources in a developing country context. A linear programming model is used to establish the costs of achieving different air quality targets using marketable permits and command-and-control policies. It is concluded that an ambient permit system substantially reduces compliance costs of attaining a given air quality target at each receptor location in the region.
