| Abstract | Long Description |
What is the relation between standard business insurance and pollution? At the most general level, the cost of standard business insurance creates a potential incentive for pollution prevention. This potential incentive depends in part on an awareness by a firm that some portion of its insurance costs is the result of its use or generation of hazardous substances and other pollutants. This awareness, in turn, depends on an accounting system which identifies that portion of insur-ance costs resulting from environmental exposures. |
