Research On The Interaction And Coordination Mechanism Of Emission Trading System And Pollution Charge System

Through economic stimulus way to manage environmental problems is tend to be more and moreimportant in the modern world. At present, there are two main kinds of economic stimulus methods inour country: Pollution charge system and emission trading system. In practice, pollution charge systemis usually used as the main measure of “command-control” type, it is just make activities amonggovernment and polluters, and always lack of communication and interaction between the polluters.Emission trading system is based on Coase Theorem. In the condition which the initial properties areunbalanced, emission trading marketing platform is be founded. In this marketing platform, it wouldlimit companies’ emissions while allowing them to buy and sell permits to pollute. As realized thecommunication between the polluters, emission trading system is more efficient. But this system’sdevelopment in our country is at an early stage, prevalent conditions such as operation mechanism andsecurity system are not yet perfect.As well as pollution charge system, emission trading system is also an economic method. Theyhave the same basic economic theory, which is the environmental external diseconomy analysis ofenvironmental economics, and both of them advanced total amount control from different channels andangels. But they also have many differents in internal operation mechanism, applicable scope and manyother aspects. Because of the similarities and differences in the economic theory and the lack of link inpractice, it is necessary and available to establish an interactive mechanism between emission tradingsystem and pollution charge system. The interactive mechanism is aimed at realize the harmony ofeconomic and environment, and using the amount control goals as it prerequisite, how to found anunified platform is the key link of this mechanism, it can make the combination of market mechanismand government control, flexibility and authority, active and passive come true. Key deepeningpollution charge system and extending emission trading system gradually, is very necessary to make thetwo systems be coordinated. The interaction and coordination mechanism of emission trading systemand pollution charge system can both highlight the market efforts of emission trading system and thesafeguard function of pollution charge system. It will be very useful in encourage the firms to reducepollution and control the emissions of pollutants, and at last make the environment’s sustainabledevelopment come true.
