Abstract
THE DEBATE OVER replacing command-and-control (CAC) pollutionabatement policies with economic incentive (EI) strategies has always been rather heated, though carried on more in theoretical terms than based on empirical evidence (see Mitnick 1980).The Netherlands offers an example of an EI strategy in the form of effluent fees.
