摘要

We examine electric utility investor reaction surrounding twenty-two milestones associated with the passage of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Results suggest that investors did not react sharply to the passage of the Amendments. To the extent that statistically significant effects were observed, we interpret the results as more indicative of investor concern over resolution of uncertainty surrounding the political process and resulting provisions than of concern over the expected costs of compliance following passage of the Amendments. We observed little, if any, difference between utilities subject to Phase Ⅰ restrictions and those not subject to Phase Ⅰ. Finally, changes in monthly excess returns appear to have resulted from changes in U.S. interest rates and investor concern over power industry deregulation. We view our results as important because any wealth effects due to environmental regulations represent a real economic cost associated with their implementation. In this sense, we view the results as "good news" for U.S. environmental policy makers.
