Economic instruments for sustainable development: improving the external and working environments (Part I)

Two key components of people's quality of life are the quality of the environment in which they live and the quality of the environment in which they work. This report examines the use of economic instruments to improve both of these components and looks at the linkages between them and how policy interventions in both areas can be made mutually reinforcing. In addition, a framework is developed for the analysis of the employment impact of such interventions by policy makers. This is an exploratory study which advances the previous work done by the Foundation on the use of economic instruments and provides a framework of further research in the area.
