Abstract
Pollution reduces society's welfare, and efforts to minimise it may be costly. The “polluter pays” principle can be used to determine optimum levels where marginal gains of abatement equal marginal cost. It is possible to involve insurance for this purpose; there are reasons to expect pollution insurance to be more efficient than most other proposals. However, compulsion is needed for such a market to develop, and to forestall non-insurance and default by polluters.
Besoedeling verlaag die welvaart van die gemaanskup, en pogings om dit te minimeer mag duur wees. Die “besoedelaar betaal” prinsiep kan gebruik word ter bepaling van optimum peile waar marginale voordele uit opklaring gelyk is aan marginale koste. Dit moontlik om versekering vir hierdie doe1 te betrek; daar is rede om te verwag dat besoedelingsversekering meer doeltreffend mag wees as die meeste ander voorstelle. Afdwinging is egter nodig vir so 'n mark om te ontwikkel en om nie versekering en verstek deur besoedelaars te voorkom.
