520 $a The theme of this dissertation is the impact that political effects have on environmental policy.
520 $a The first chapter concerns itself with the relationship between air quality and ethnic diversity in American metropolitan areas. Recent research has demonstrated that ethnic divisions may be inversely related to investment in public goods. This paper applies this finding to the most pure public good, that is, air quality, presenting empirical results for air quality in U.S. metropolitan statistical areas. The results are mixed. For carbon monoxide, the results are consistent with the literature, in that ethnic diversity is associated with more air pollution. For sulfur dioxide, the opposite results are found. It is suggested that these different results are caused by differences in the levels of government at which point as opposed to non-point air pollution is regulated. The implications of this finding for the literature are discussed.
520 $a The second chapter uses a new method for determining whether or not the stringency of environmental regulation is dependent upon political changes. In particular, it uses the change in the share price of companies with environmental litigation outstanding at the time of an election. The election of Congressional Republicans in 2000 was associated with increases of approximately five percent in the share prices of firms that were being sued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). No similar effects were found to be associated with the election of George W. Bush as President. These findings are robust to a number of different specifications, and are not found in an otherwise similar sample of companies without litigation outstanding. It is suggested that the enforcement of environmental law is dependent upon political pressure.
