Public Choice and the EPA, 20 Years Later: An Exploratory Study

Richard Cebula (), Franklin Mixon and Kamal Upadhyaya

Abstract: Nearly 20 years ago, Mixon (1995) found that urban warming is positively related to the probability of an EPA citation for a violation of carbon emissions standards, whereas lobbying effort reduces the probability of such a citation. This study revisits the Mixon (1995) framework by using data on ozone violations. The results indicate that EPA citations for ozone violations are not significantly related to lobbying effort.
