Environmental regulation often has to be designed using asymmetric and incomplete information. Polluting firms, for instance, are normally privately better informed than the regulator with regard to the costs of reducing their emissions. However, even regulated firms may not have accurate information about their own abatement costs.

In this thesis, I study, among other things, how auction mechanisms can be used to incentivize firms to reveal their private information to the regulator. One of the central questions in pollution control theory is whether a price instrument like an emission tax ...
