Although a trial-and-error procedure could result in attainment of concentration standards this would generally not be cost-effective. This paper, however, proves that environmental agencies can develop charge adjustment procedures that achieve ambient standards at multiple receptors at minimum costs. The procedure is applied to a case study for acidification in the Netherlands. The results show that the iterative procedure approaches the cost-effective emissions fairly quickly. date: 1996 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier id_number: 10.1006/jeem.1996.0030 iiasapubid: XJ-96-084 iiasa_bibref: Journal of Environmental Economics and Management; 31:37-48 [1996] creators_browse_id: 338 creators_browse_id: 1376 creators_browse_id: 1473 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Environmental Economics and Management volume: 31 number: 1 pagerange: 37-48 refereed: TRUE issn: 1096-0449 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Ermoliev, Y.M. , Klaassen, G. , & Nentjes, A.
