ENFORCING POLLUTION CONTROL LAWS IN THE U.S.

The enforcement of pollution control laws is an important component of the implementation process. Much has been written about the implementation of pollution control laws in the US but there has been relatively little attention to the issues of enforcement. In this paper researchers gather together the existing literature on enforcement of pollution laws, supplement it with a case study of water pollution control equipment, and interpret the findings in terms of the economics faced by the firm and the control agency.
