The Cost of Automobile Safety and Emissions Regulation to the Consumer: Some Preliminary Results
研究了1960年代中期以来美国政府汽车安全与排放法规对消费者拥有和使用汽车成本的整体影响，提供了初步的量化结果。
The cost of government regulation of the automobile has been the subject of heated controversy since its inception in the mid- 1960's. Much of this controversy has centered on the costs and benefits of individual regulations, but there has been little attention paid to the overall effect of emissions and safety regulation. In this paper, we attempt to measure the effect of these regulatory policies upon the consumer cost of owning and operating an automobile.
