| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines decisions made by federal and state regulators as hazardous waste sites addressed by the Superfund program to determine how their decisions diverge from those predicted by expected utility theory and benefit-cost analysis. The authors analyze whether risk perceptions and politics influence two decisions central to the "how clean is clean" debate at Superfund sites -- the selection of chemical cleanup targets and the expenditure of remediation funds at these contaminated sites. |
