dc.description.abstract | Abstract:
The present paper investigates effects of regulatory inspections on compliance and emissions of
energy intensive manufacturing plants in Norway. The regression analysis shows that increased
probability of inspection reduces the probability of violation. This is in line with previous studies, and
may appear as an encouraging evaluation of the practiced regulatory enforcement policy. However,
the direct environmental impact of the enforcement policy is more dubious: Regression analyses
reveal a positive relationship between the probability of an inspection and emissions. It appears
puzzeling that increased probability of inspection can yield both reduced probability of violation and
higher emissions. The possibility that such a puzzle evolves from incentives inherent in the practiced
regulatory policy is discussed. | no_NO |
