| Abstract: | In this paper, we analyze the effect of media coverageon EPA pesticide decisions. We hypothesize that mediacoverage influences the distribution of opinions inthe general public and that EPA decision makersrespond to these opinions. We develop a revealedpreference model that includes media coverage andpublic opinion. We test the model by extending theanalysis of Cropper et al. (1992) to include mediacoverage. We find that the media coverage ofpesticides has a non-linear effect on EPA pesticidedecisions. |
