      abstract = {Pollution of the environment is becoming an increasingly  serious problem. A large
contributor to this is industry  which generates effluent as a by-product of its  production
process. Two methods of controlling the  pollution generated by industry are the so-called
“command  and control” techniques and economic incentives. In theory,  economic incentives
promise a more economically efficient  and equitable means of pollution control. This paper
sets  out to ascertain whether this would hold in practice by  applying environmental economic
theory to the practical  problem of controlling the effluent generated by one  particular
industry, viz the South African leather  industry.},
