Green Pricing in the Asia Pacific: An Idea Whose Time Has Come?

This article discusses the potential benefits of an enhanced use of externality pricing schemes in the Asia Pacific.

The main implementation challenges are political and institutional. Lessons are drawn from recent experiences in environmental taxation and the removal of fossil fuel subsidies.
