Extract

Over the past two years, a national commitment to reduce pollution has emerged. Firms and governmental units will be required to internalize most, if not all, costs associated with pollution control. This will move us in the direction of reducing the social costs associated with environmental quality deterioration. The subject of social costs or “externalities” has been widely discussed by economists [5].
