Statistical Brief: Measuring the Productivity Impact of Pollution Abatement

Report Number SB/93-13

This Brief summarizes findings of a study of the relationship between pollution abatement costs and the productivity of manufacturing plants. Analysts found that the productivity impacts were considerably greater than expected—about three times as large as previous research had estimated.

The study is based upon two U.S. Census Bureau data bases: the Pollution Abatement Cost and Expenditures suvey and the Longitudinal Research Data Base.
