Environmental Defense Fund has a short piece on how the use of incentives was a powerful solution to addressing acid rain.
The Environmental Literacy Council has a nice short article on standards vs. incentives.
Here's more from the World Bank.

Okay, going back a month on the blog I ran into an article of interest. This is an article of how the Chicago Climate Exchange worked as a Cap-and-trade system and how Carbon Financial Instruments worked within a specialized securities exchange. Unfortunately, as some of you may know, it shut down due to the fact that a lack of hard government regulation lead to lower incentives for high-abatement-cost companies to join (it was a voluntary membership group).
It's a little over four pages plus a bibliography.
