Title
Employment Impacts of Environmental Regulation
Project Dates
2/1/2012-
Description
This research paper will address the issue of evaluating and improving potential links between employment impacts of environmental regulation and benefit-cost analysis. The research will examine labor market conditions that would justify relaxing the full employment assumption within benefit-cost analysis. This information may be influential to the opportunity cost of unemployed labor and will address the measurement of influential variables. The research will be presented at two workshops in Washington, D.C.: a “planning” workshop in Spring 2012 and a “presentation” workshop in Fall 2012.
