For pollution control with imperfect information about aggregate abatement costs we propose a combination consisting of free permits and a menu of call options for additional permits with different striking prices. By appropriately choosing permits and corresponding striking prices the regulator can approximate the marginal damage function arbitrarily well. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
