The Economics of Safe Drinking Water
研究供水公司在随机污染下如何选择处理系统、处理水平及是否通知消费者改喝瓶装水，描述了高效做法和监管标准，并讨论对现行饮用水法律的启示。
<i>This paper studies a drinking water market in which a water company, faced with random contamination, chooses a treatment system, treatment levels, and whether to notify consumers that they should drink bottled water rather than risk exposure to contaminants in the tap water. The paper describes efficient practices including protocols which prescribe when a company should notify customers to drink bottled water, and regulatory standards on post-treatment water quality that depend upon system size, the extent of contamination, and the customer notification decision. Implications for contemporary safe drinking water law are discussed.</i>.
