Published By: SANDEE on eSS | Published Date: April, 19 , 2010This paper examines the possibility of using economic instruments, especially pollution taxes and
bargaining approaches, as a means to encourage or improve people’s participation in environmental
management in India. It provides an intuitive description of methods for designing economic
instruments and bargaining approaches. A case study describes the estimation of pollution taxes
for controlling air pollution in thermal power generation in India. Another case study examining
some bargaining methods that are already in force in India shows their usefulness in controlling
industrial pollution. [SANDEE Working Paper No. 48-10]
