Incentives for Technological Innovation in Air Pollution Reduction: An ETIP Policy Research Series. Volume 7: Periodic Review and Technological Escalation of Performance Standards: New Source Performance Standards Review Process

摘要

This study is part of a research series by ETIP about the impacts of air pollution regulation on industrial innovation and creativity. It treats the results of periodic review of standards for new source performance. This review was mandated in order to incorporate technological advances that take place since the standards' original formulation. In fact, the study shows that revisions are seldom made raising the question as to whether technological advances are overlooked or are non-existent.
