yes it does. if you only said implement a tax and trading scheme, i think that only counts as one measure. so you would 2 marks at most. unless that was only part of your answer

When arguing its effectiveness i said it was limited because of:

Time lags, inability to control individual sectors, pre-emptive tool and therefore they must try to accurately 'guess' what will happen e.g basically no one can predict europe so it is ineffective and limited in that sense.

Can someone confirm this is correct?

(obviously i talked about how it is a good macroeconomic tool aswell)
what does pre-emptiveness mean as ive never heard of that term.

also isnt the time lag really minimal. it takes only 1 month to change and is implemented pretty quickly i think

I talked about the time lag too, but also wrote about the monetary policy's influence on the exchange rate, aggregate demand, domestic eco growth, inflation and our CAD... I thinK i went well off topic....

i gave the two policies and expanded on why they would help with reducing pollution etc etc because it was an 'explain' question i think..

that question was a stinker, i had no clue for that one. i seriously b/s'd my way through that one.

i talked about interest rates and the synchronisation of the world economies

i went along those lines too, but from the people i have asked, it seems as though we are kinda on the minority (atleast i think so).

Pricing of emissions and imposition of property rights would have suffice.
