“…Environmental regulation is an external situational factor that constrains household CWR behaviour. The essence of environmental regulation is an institutional arrangement to internalise environmental costs by affecting market resource allocation, ultimately achieving the goal of promoting social welfare (Elrod and Malik, 2013). However, scholars merely have explored the impact of environmental regulation on household dead pig recycling (DPR) behaviour.…”

“…Several survey papers have also attempted to draw broader generalizations from the limited literature on RAs of environmental, health, and safety regulation, such as Harrington, Morgenstern andNelson (2000),Harrington (2006),OMB (2006),Simpson (2014) andLutter (2012). 5 Another issue, explored byElrod and Malik (2017), is the possibility of changes in the product mix of both regulated and unregulated firms in response to the new rule. Such changes could, in principle, confound attempts to estimate costs and benefits on both ex ante and ex post bases.terms of use, available at https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms.…”

“…3 In an examination of the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1977, Elrod and Malik (2019) find that more stringent CAAA regulation caused some US manufacturers to alter their product mixes away from pollution-intensive products and toward less pollution-intensive products. Elrod and Malik (2017) find similar results in an examination of EPA's Cluster Rule (CR)-which combines regulatory requirements from the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act-in which manufacturers facing more stringent CR regulation (treatment group) were more likely to drop pollution-intensive bleached products relative to less pollution-intensive unbleached products compared to manufacturers facing less stringent CR regulation (control group). However, the authors also find evidence that the control group was more likely to add bleached products after, relative to before, the CR, thereby altering their product mixes toward pollution-intensive products.…”
