The Impact of Air Quality Regulation on Industrial Location

J. Vernon Henderson

Annals of Economics and Statistics, 1997, issue 45, 123-137

Abstract: This paper examines the effect of local air quality regulation on location of polluting industries in the USA. USA counties are designated annually as being in attainment or non-attainment of national air quality standards. Regulations on new and existing plants governing equipment and operating specifications are much tougher in non-attainment counties. A switch from non-attainment to attainment status greatly raises the probability of a county having a particular polluting industry.
