Hylton on Nuisance and Environmental Regulation
Keith Hylton has posted on SSRN The Economic Theory of Nuisance Law and Implications for Environmental Regulation. Here's the abstract:
I explore the economic structure of nuisance law as a mechanism for regulating environmental interferences and propose a modernized enforcement regime. The modern regime would retain public enforcement primarily in identifying environmental harms and as a backstop for private enforcement.
