• The Role of Information in Market-Driven Environmental Policies - Market-driven policies are promoted as alternatives to state regulation, yet few have been studied as a means of policy delivery.

I conclude that the chain-of-custody weakens their reliability and that communication about certification systems strongly declines with geographical distance. We may be replacing governmental systems with alternatives that are likely to be less effective. (Added: 25-Apr-2006 Hits: 126 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It
