地方政府通常追求的环境目标超过了州和联邦的最低要求。虽然研究使我们了解了导致城市采取这些政策目标的因素，但对实现这些目标所采用的基本机制并没有很好的了解。本文探讨了城市为追求当地环境目标而选择政策工具的驱动因素。文献链接的结构，当地的管理机构，社区和目标人群的特点，以及政策问题的性质，工具的选择。在此基础上，作者模拟了城市使用法规、财政激励或两者结合的动态，以追求各种不同的环境目标。结果表明，社区的种族组成和政治倾向的影响工具选择时，政策的目标是广大公众。另一方面，当政策针对特定的利益攸关方群体，如开发商时，地方管理机构的特点就更为重要。
Local governments commonly pursue environmental objectives that exceed state and federal minimum requirements. Although research informs our understanding of factors that lead cities to adopt such policy goals, the underlying mechanisms employed to achieve them are not well understood. This article examines factors that drive the choice of policy instruments that cities use to pursue local environmental objectives. The literature links the structure of the local governing body, characteristics of the community and target populations, and the nature of the policy problem to instrument selection. Building on this, the authors model the dynamics shaping cities' use of regulations, financial incentives, or combination thereof, to pursue a variety of different environmental objectives. Results indicate that community racial composition and political leaning influence instrument choice when policy targets the public at large. Alternatively, when policy targets particular stakeholder groups, such as developers, the characteristics of the local governing body are of greater importance.
