Dynamic multiple-objective optimization of environmental regulation policies

Environmental regulation policies are tested via alternative multi-objective criteria in order to test their efficiency when they are spread over time – that is, in a dynamic setting. The implication is carried to the Haifa Bay area in Israel with an extension to the entire country. The results presented in this paper can give decision makers another perspective of their decisions, the implication of their choice on the state(s) of the system through time, so they can test the efficiency criterion in each period of the planning horizon.
