Measuring environmental policy stringency in OECD countries

چکیده
As countries implement stricter environmental policies, the need for tools to compare countries’ policy stringency is becoming more pressing. The OECD Environmental Policy Stringency (EPS) index has become a widely used tool analysis since its creation in 2014. This paper updates EPS over three decades from 1990 2020, across 40 and 13 instruments, focussing on climate change air pollution mitigation policies. It up-grades structure all years, adding new sub-index that measures strength of technology support which complements existing market based non-market sub-indices. shows evolving developments – time

متن کاملFiscal Transparency and Fiscal Policy Outcomes in Oecd Countries
It is widely believed and often argued that budget process transparency has large, positive effects on fiscal performance. However, the evidence linking transparency and fiscal policy outcomes is far from compelling. We modify the "debt as precommitment" model of Alesina and Tabellini (1990) by allowing for budget inertia and reputational costs. These modest changes produce an equilibrium level...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Regulatory Policy in OECD Countries
In the past 20 years a key topic of public sector reform in OECD countries has been the emergence of regulatory policy. During this period, the nature of regulation has undergone profound and rapid change.
