- Summary:
- Earnhart (economics, U. of Kansas) and Glicksman (environmental law, George Washington U. Law School) combine economics and law to provide an empirical study of compliance with the Clean Water Act. The authors base their findings on Environmental Protection Agency databases as well as data from their own survey of chemical manufacturing companies authorized to discharge wastewater. They address a variety of questions, but one of the most critical is whether government interventions promote better behavior and environmental performance.
