| Title | Strategies for Fine Particulate Matter Control- Evaluating the Kao-Ping emissions trading scheme in Taiwan |
| Summary | This thesis investigates the strategies that the Taiwan government uses to mitigate fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution, tiny particles in the atmosphere that can cause severe impacts to human health. Due to the complex composition of PM2.5, the strategies can be either controlling its direct or indirect sources. The Kao-Ping cap-and-trade program is a unique policy instrument that aims to mitigate PM2.5 by implementing a cap and a credit offset trading scheme on PM2.5 precursors (NOx, SOx, VOCs and PM10). An ex-post evaluation is conducted to assess the performance of this recently introduced policy instrument, by three main criteria (environmental performance, policy design criteria, and institutional feasibility) and 10 sub-criteria (effectiveness, side-effects, transparency, equity, predictability, flexibility, political feasibility, financial feasibility and implementation network feasibility.) |
