Abstract
In the past there was hardly any use of economic theory and instruments in environmental policy, mainly command and control measures dominated. More recently, ecological taxes became increasingly popular and have been proposed but not implemented with an ecological effect. Thus, the situation has not changed, and we must ask for the reasons of this situation and the prevailing nonacceptance of these instruments. The purpose of this paper is to give some answers on these questions using the Public Choice approach. The proposition of an ecological tax reform and road pricing measures are taken to discuss how actual environmental policy deviates from economic prescriptions.
