Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show how environmental protection can be facilitated by combining incentives theory and multi-criteria decision making. The article uses alternative ways of dealing with environmental protection for illustrative purposes; the methods are applicable to other socio-economic problems. It proceeds from a simple model to more realistic models, and concludes by noting the great potential that incentives theory and MCDM have for socio-economic planning and environmental policy.
