Overview

Empirical exercise investigates how public good spillovers affect agent effort in water pollution management, highlighting interconnectedness.

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand how public good spillovers impact agent effort in an interconnected environment, specifically in water regulation.
  • Developed a model to analyze public good provision and spillovers in a network context
  • Examined 6000 major water pollution sources under the U.S. Clean Water Act
  • Constructed a dataset including geographic information on agency jurisdictions and watershed boundaries
  • Empirical analysis confirms that agents' location in the network affects their detection effort
  • Identification of significant interplay between agency responsibility and spillover effects
  • Support for the hypothesis that spillovers influence effort exerted in local environments
