If OSHA is So Bad, Why is Compliance So Good?
分析企业层面遵守职业安全与健康标准的影响因素，发现尽管OSHA监管资源有限，但对企业的合规行为产生了显著影响，表明政府监管机构能有效改变私营部门行为。

This article analyzes the determinants of establishment-level compliance with specific safety and health standards as a means of assessing the agency's effectiveness. The empirical results suggest that OSHA has had large impacts on business compliance behavior, despite its low regulatory profile. These results indicate that government regulatory agencies can substantially change private-sector behavior, even given limited regulatory resources.
