<strong>Public</strong> <strong>Policy</strong>: <strong>Using</strong> <strong>Market</strong>-<strong>Based</strong> <strong>Approaches</strong><br />

Structure of the report<br />

In Part II below we identify the main lessons <strong>for</strong> policy makers drawn from our<br />

research. It includes lessons from economic theory, from previous empirical<br />

studies and from our three case studies. We divide these lessons into those<br />

which are applicable to the use of market-based mechanisms in general and<br />

implementation issues which are specific to individual mechanisms.<br />

In Part III we review the economic literature on the use of market-based<br />

instruments. This includes both the theory of market-based mechanisms and<br />

studies of their per<strong>for</strong>mance in a variety of situations.<br />

In Part IV we set out the findings from each of our three case studies.<br />

Annex A contains a more detailed assessment of the economic literature on the<br />

use of market-based mechanisms and Annex B contains a bibliography of<br />

references used in this report.<br />
