SUMMARY
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.Kornelis Blok is the author of 'The Effectiveness of Policy Instruments for Energy-Efficiency Improvement in Firms: The Dutch Experience (Eco-Efficiency in Industry and Science)', published 2004 under ISBN 9781402019654 and ISBN 1402019653.
