Beth, colleagues,
Much of Kathy Harrison's work has been on toxic release inventories.
Antweiler, Werner y Kathryn Harrison (2003) "Toxic Release Inventories and
Green Consumerism: Empirical Evidence from Canada", Canadian Journal of
Economics, vol. 36, núm. 2, pp. 495-520.
Harrison, Kathryn (1998) "Talking with the Donkey: Cooperative Approaches to
Environmental Protection", Journal of Industrial Ecology, vol. 2, núm. 3,
pp. 51-72.
Harrison, Kathryn y Werner Antweiler (2003) "Incentives for Pollution
Abatement: Regulation, Regulatory Threats and Non-Governmental Pressures",
Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, vol. 22, núm. 3, pp. 361-382.
There are other authors that have looked at information dissemination as a
policy tool too.
Fung, Archon y Dara O'Rourke (2000) "Reinventing Environmental Regulation
from the Grasroots Up: Explaining and Expanding the Success of the Toxics
Release Inventory", Environmental Management, vol. 25, núm. 2, pp. 115-127.
Hamilton, James T. (1995) "Pollution as News: Media and Stock Market
Reactions to the Toxics Release Inventory Data", Journal of Environmental
Economics and Management, vol. 28, núm. 1, pp. 98-113.
OOOPS. I think I posted the references with EndNote's output style in
Spanish. I am hoping it will still be clear enough :-) Sorry! Still hope
they help.

Subject: info and labeling articles?
Next syllabus hole to fill:
I'm looking for readings that talk about the role of information or
labeling as an environmental protection strategy (separate from regulation
-- the idea that simply providing information can change behavior).
Things like how the Toxic Release Inventory or related industry disclosure
rules change industry behavior, or anything about how labeling something
as organic or dolphin-safe or whatever changes consumer behavior and/or
the theory behind why.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Beth
