Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Command-and-control regulation can often lead to increased costs without commensurate increases in benefits because it typically mandates a specific pollution control technology or level of emissions reduction, regardless of the costs and benefits associated with that technology or level. This can result in inefficiencies and a lack of flexibility in achieving environmental goals.
