Pollution Control in Sao Paulo Brazil: Costs, Benefits and Effects on Industrial Location

摘要

With rapid industrialization, environmental pollution has reached alarming proportions in some of the urban centers in Brazil, particularly Sao Paulo. As anti-pollution regulations are now being enacted and implemented to combat this problem, the need to evaluate policy options has surfaced. This paper presents a cost-benefit framework to analyze pollution control policies, and sets out some preliminary order-of-magnitude level estimates. (Copyright (c) 1981 The World Bank.)
