Sammendrag
Pollution has become a major cause of concern for large cities in most parts
of the world giving rise to increased health costs. The thesis tries to study pollution
taxes and how they are theoretically justified in being used as effective policy
instruments. It tries to analyze the general theoretical construction of the
externality tax and proposes certain revisions that planners can consult. The control
of fuel markets is linked to such pollution and allowing reform will reduce such
inefficiency and externality costs through the free market mechanism. Also, the
constitutional framework for putting together this reform is entirely based on the
valuation of the externality and the good by a state and its people.
