Testing Theories of State Hazardous Waste Regulation

A Reassessment of the Williams and Matheny Study

Charles Davis

Colorado State University

Richard Feiock

Florida State University

This research reassesses the conclusions reached by Williams and Matheny in their analysis of state and industry spending for hazardous waste regulation. Using updated and in some cases reconfigured indicators for hazardous waste expenditures, the authors affirmed earlier findings pertaining to the link between industry influence and regulatory spending decisions. However, they also concluded that the market failure thesis provided a better explanation of state hazardous waste decision making than the original research and that the socialization of cost thesis was less useful in accounting for interstate variation in pollution control expenditures.
