Emissions charge and asymmetric information: consistently a problem?
Article Abstract:
An evaluation of firm responses to clean up directives reveals that a firm would try to reconstruct regulator calculations of clean-up costs in order to maximize under reporting of costs. Requirements for a firm to pay marginal clean-up costs according to reported data would make underreporting 'unbounded' and thus prone to firm manipulations to a point where a firm pays zero to regulators.
