is a Voluntary Approach an effective environmental policy instrument a case for environmental management systems
Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 2008Co-Authors: Toshihide Arimura, Akira Hibiki, Hajime KatayamaAbstract:Abstract Using Japanese facility-level data from an OECD survey, we estimate the effects of implementation of ISO14001 and publication of environmental reports on the facilities’ environmental performance. While most previous studies focused on an index of emissions toxicity, this study examines three areas of impacts, none of which have been explored in the literature: natural resource use, solid waste generation, and wastewater effluent. The study is also unique in that the effectiveness of ISO14001 is considered in relation to environmental regulations. Our findings are summarized as follows. First, both ISO14001 and report publication help reduce all three impacts; the former appears more effective in all areas except wastewater. Second, environmental regulations do not weaken the effect of ISO14001. Third, assistance programs offered by local governments—a Voluntary Approach—promote facilities’ adoption of ISO14001. These findings suggest that governments can use command-and-control and Voluntary Approaches concurrently.

creating a circle of trust to further digital privacy and cybersecurity goals
Michigan state law review, 2015Co-Authors: Jay P Kesan, Carol Mullins HayesAbstract:Cyberattacks loom over the technological landscape as a dire threat to Internet commerce, information security, and even national security. Meaningfully improving cybersecurity and ensuring the resilience of systems will require cooperation between members of the private sector and the government. To this end, we propose a framework that creates a circle of trust for the sharing of information about threats and solutions. To emphasize the importance of cooperation to enhance cyber defense, this Article presents a case study of two items: the proposed legislative regime of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, and President Obama’s Executive Order 13,636 with its emphasis on a Cybersecurity Framework that would establish Voluntary cybersecurity standards. Through application of our circle of trust framework, we hope to provide a solution that balances the sometimes competing concerns of privacy and cybersecurity. Our secondary focus is whether such a program should emphasize Voluntary or mandatory compliance. A proper balance between the two Approaches could improve the dynamics between the public and private sectors in a way that increases respective levels of trust. The Executive Order and CISPA both use a Voluntary Approach. Under each system as currently proposed, firms could choose to follow the program, but compliance is not mandatory, and there is no penalty for noncompliance. However, mandatory programs with effective enforcement mechanisms are likely to result in higher levels of compliance than purely Voluntary programs in many situations. We urge that government intervention in the free * Jay P. Kesan, Ph.D., J.D., Professor and H. Ross & Helen Workman Research Scholar, University of Illinois College of Law. ** Carol M. Hayes, J.D., Research Associate, University of Illinois College of Law. 1476 Michigan State Law Review 2014:1475 market should be kept at a low level, but because cybersecurity issues can have implications for national security, some degree of mandatory regulation would be beneficial. We believe that cybersecurity can be enhanced without creating a Big Brother world and encourage the development of a circle of trust that brings the public and private sectors together to resolve cybersecurity threats more effectively. It is vital that these issues be addressed soon while there is still a chance to prevent a catastrophic cyber event. It would be ill-advised to rely solely on executive power or on legislation that is quickly drafted and enacted after an emergency. A careful, deliberative process aimed at protecting cybersecurity and civil liberties would ultimately be the most beneficial Approach, and these steps must be taken now, before the emergence of a cybersecurity crisis that causes us to suspend reason.
