| Abstract: | This paper investigates the determinants of environmental regulatory activity and levels of air and water pollution for 409 US pulp and paper mills, using data for 1985-1997. The authors concentrate in the benefits to the surrounding population from pollution abatement. Plants with larger benefits emit less pollution, as do those with more kids and elders nearby. Plans in poor areas emit more pollution though less pollution is found in minority areas. |
