文章摘要:

This paper investigates the optimal enforcement of regulatory standards. We propose that the optimal enforcement of regulatory standard is robust and irrelevant to public interest group pressure under different market structures. We test this model in the context of environmental regulatory enforcement in the U.S. between 1977 and 1994 and found that the level of regulatory enforcement stringency is significantly related to market demand, productivity, the number of manufacturing interest groups, and presidential actions. However, both market structure and public interest groups are irrelevant. This research contributes to the literature of public policy studies in general and regulatory enforcement in particular.
