| Abstract: | This paper examines effects of ground-level ozone regulation on economic activity. Regulatory effort varies by country attainment status and state attitudes. A switch from attainment to nonattainment status induces greater local regulatory effort, leading to air quality improvement, ceteris paribus, and an exit of polluting industries. Polluting industries spread out, moving from nonattainment (polluted) to attainment (initially less polluted) areas. Localities can improve hourly extreme-value reading which trigger regulatory activity, without improving measures of typical conditions. |
