| description |
Since 1989, environmental authorities of
the Republic of Korea have published on a monthly basis a
list of enterprises violating the country's
environmental rules and regulations. This may be the longest
environmental public disclosure program currently in
existence. Over the period 1993-2001 in excess of 7,000
violations have been recorded in these monthly violation
lists, involving more than 3,400 different companies. In
this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive descriptive
analysis of this dataset. Results suggest that the news
media have given an important, though perhaps declining
coverage, to the violation lists, with a focus on publicly
traded companies, failures to operate pollution abatement
equipment, and prosecutions. |
