Incentives, MCDM, and environmental protection
Abstract Environmental protection can be facilitated by the substance of incentives theory and the methods of multicriteria decision making. Incentives theory in a public policy context emphasizes encouraging socially desired behavior by (1) increasing the benefits of rightdoing, (2) decreasing the costs of rightdoing, (3) decreasing the benefits of wrongdoing, (4) increasing the costs of wrongdoing, (5) increasing the probability that the benefits and costs will occur, and (6) establishing mental or physical blocks against wrongdoing. Multicriteria decision making in a public policy context emphasizes systematically processing a set of (1) societal goals to be achieved, (2) alternative public policies for achieving them, and (3) relations between goals and alternative policies in order to choose or explain the best alternative, combination, allocation, or predictive decision rule. These ideas can be applied to comparing the marketplace, regulation, pollution, taxes, and other alternatives with regard to pollution reduction, political feasibility, and other goals to be achieved.
