Political effects in environmental litigation. - 32 p.

Thesis (M.A.)--University of Southern California, 2005.

This thesis 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.
