Workshop on Market Based Approaches to Environmental Policy

The Workshop on Market-Based Approaches to Environmental Policy is a not-for-profit research enterprise that sponsors conferences on decentralized market incentive measures designed to achieve environmental goals. The Workshop also sponsors research into the benefits and costs of market-based approaches compared to alternative policy measures such as traditional regulation.

The Workshop has been supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the U. S. EPA, the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, among other sponsors.

Student involvements: Both graduate and undergraduate students have been involved in Workshop activates leading to independent studies or advanced degrees.
