Public Choice on Environmental Protection - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 424 Environmental Protection/New Political Economy/Public Choice: From the perspective of the New Political Economy (Schneider and Kirchgässner 2005(1); Holzinger 1987(2)), politicians should prefer regulatory measures because they suggest a high degree of effectiveness. These measures, because of their direct impact, can be well communicated to voters as a symbol of an active environmental policy, while the costs of environmental protection are often not directly clear and can be better concealed from the majority of voters (Benkert 1993 (3)).
