The market approach in which governments grant tradable pollution and resource-use permits is similar to the cap-and-trade strategy.

Tradable Pollution

A system where companies or countries can buy or sell allowances to emit a certain amount of pollutants, with the aim of reducing overall emissions.

Cap-And-Trade

An environmental policy tool that limits greenhouse gas emissions by allocating emission allowances and permitting the trading of these allowances among emitters.

Market Approach

An economic method that determines the value of a business, business ownership interest, or security using one or more methods that compare the subject to similar businesses, business ownership interests, or securities that have been sold.
