Abstract

On the background of a basic model of environmental policy the main goals and remedies of German environmental policy for air, noise and water are analyzed. The main instrument is the authorization of equipment. It depends in some cases on fulfillment of standards for immission and emission and mostly on the application of appropriate technologies. In addition subsidies for investments for environmental purposes have been used. The hypothesis that environmental policy favours concentration is tested and rejected since the change of concentration is not significantly correlated with environmental policy burden as it is the case with the level of concentration.
