A life-cycle model of an automobile
Article Abstract:
An analytical model for evaluating the input-output life cycle of automobiles was developed in an effort to provide environmental regulators an efficient instrument of analyzing the impact of gas emissions to the environment, in the context of pollutant contents. The EIO-LCA framework outlines various indicators that help link product service with environmental quality, including energy, ores and fertilizers. It was found that automobile driving consumes more energy than servicing, producing and disposing of vehicles.

Trading sulfur dioxide allowances: progress on market incentives for abating pollution
Article Abstract:
The framework of the introduction of market incentives into the 1990 Clean Air Act, its interpretation by Congress and the discharge allowances traded to date are discussed. This was done in order to monitor the development of market-based incentives for decreasing pollution through legislation, which started with the 1970 Clean Air Act. It is asserted that such an approach will significantly lower the costs of improving environmental quality.
