They examine technological innovations that were or were not adopted and the reasons for whichever applies, and find that there is a variation-selection process in which policy is an important intermediating variable, often with sub-optimal outcomes. Their main conclusion is that incentive-based instruments provide a greater spur to innovate in pollution control that does direct control. The research project that underlies the study was commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
