Revisiting penalty functions for environmental violations: Evidence from a developing country
Abstract
Environmental fines are effective means of bringing polluters under compliance by deterring them from future violations. The design of the fines is guided by policies informed by theories of firm behaviour and empirical records. In Bangladesh, there are no policies governing the penalty rates based on the type and seriousness of the violations. This study models the influence of factory level characteristics on environmental fines levied due to violation of regulations relating to surface water pollution. Textile factories were found to be fined at a higher rate compared to other sectors. It was also found that historical compliance records negatively influenced the penalty rates. However, even with this model it will be difficult to accurately assess the fine for an environmental violation. Though the results offer similarities and differences with other studies and established theories, certain anomalies highlight the regulatory gaps in terms of not having structured penalties appropriate for reported violations in Bangladesh.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
