Abstract

The Clean Air Act was the product of a spasm of extraordinary political unanimity. Its actual implementation, however, has been divisive and controversial from the start. For two decades now, politicians, members of the regulated community, environmental activists, and academics have been debating whether the Act represents a rational investment (current expenditures for air pollution control are generally estimated at something above thirty billion dollars), uses optimal or even sensible regulatory mechanisms, or has accomplished anything at all.
