Synopsis "the effectiveness of policy instruments for energy-efficiency improvement in firms"

the netherlands and some neighbouring countries in europe have implemented a variety of policy instruments since 1990. these include investment subsidies, voluntary agreements on energy-efficiency, direct regulation and taxes. how effective are these measures? this book presents improved theoretical insight in the investment behaviour of firms, and moreover it provides a wealth of empirical results on the effectiveness of policy instruments. it discusses issues such as free-rider effects of subsidies, the credibility of voluntary agreements, the art of regulation and the fate of randd money. it tells stories of success, but also stories of failure.
