Teaching Tools: A Pollution Rights Trading Game

Author

  • Nugent, Rachel A

Abstract

This article describes a classroom game in which students simulate the U.S. EPA's market for emission allowances to understand the efficiency benefits of market-based incentives for pollution control. It can be used in either a principles or environmental economics course. Acting as managers of coal-fired power plants facing different clean-up costs, students compare the cost of pollution reduction to the cost of acquiring permits to emit pollution. The game can be conducted in one fifty-minute class period with discussion of the results carried over to the next class. Copyright 1997 by Oxford University Press.
