| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines unintended effects of air quality regulation, using plant data for 1963-92. A key regulatory tool since 1978 is the annual designation of country air quality attainment status. Nonattainment status triggers specific equipment requirements, with the severity and enforcement of regulations rising with plant size. The differential in regulation favors attainment areas, reducing births for polluting industries in nonattainment areas. |
