This article proposes and evaluates four hypotheses about US pollution and environmental policy over the last half … century. First, air and water pollution have declined substantially, although greenhouse gas emissions have not. Second …, environmental policy explains a large share of these trends. Third, much of the regulation of air and drinking water pollution has …
