This study examines the cost of achieving alternative emission standards and the savings in abatement cost that might be achieved with policies that rely on economic incentives rather than with rigid " command and control " measures. The focus is primarily on three pollutants arising from energy combustion - particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide - although carbon dioxide emissions also are tracked. A central element of the analysis is a dynamic model of least-cost energy supply in Poland that allows examination at a national level of effects of different pollution standards and policies. date: 1994 date_type: published publisher: The World Bank official_url: https://doi.org/10.1596/0-8213-2753-4 iiasa_bibref: The World Bank Environment Paper No. 7, The World Bank, Washington, DC, USA [1994] policy_related: TRUE creators_browse_id: 55 full_text_status: public monograph_type: policy_report place_of_pub: Washington DC refereed: TRUE isbn: 0-8213-2753-4 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/book citation: Bates, R., Cofala, J. , & Toman, M.
