Environmental Regulations and Productivity Growth: The Case of Fossil-fueled Electric Power Generation
Frank M. Gollop,Mark J. Roberts +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of sulfur dioxide emission restrictions on the rate of productivity growth in the electric power industry over the 1973-79 business cycle was analyzed. And the results indicated that emission regulations result in significantly higher generating costs, primarily from the increased use of low-sulfur fuels.
