Prepared for the United Nations Environment Programme under the auspices of the Economics and Trade Branch's Working Group on Economic Instruments. 2004.

Guidance manual for non-technical staff in developing countries to enhance their understanding of the concepts and applications for economic instruments.

Findings are based on discussions with policy experts and review of case study materials.
