New Report Says EPA Used Dubious Methodology to Justify Weakening the Clean Water Act

New Report Says EPA Used Dubious Methodology to Justify Weakening the Clean Water Act

AMHERST, Mass. – The Trump administration’s decision to remove federal Clean Water Act protections from millions of acres of wetlands and millions of miles of streams is based on dubious methodology and flawed logic, according to a new report by environmental economists from leading research institutions across the U.S, including the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers repealed the Obama-era Clean Water Rule, which clarified which bodies of water fell under federal protection from pollution under the 1972 Clean Water Act. Earlier this year, the agenci ....

The Trump administration’s decision to remove federal Clean Water Act protections from millions of acres of wetlands and millions of miles of streams is based on dubious methodology and flawed logic, according to a new report by environmental economists from leading research institutions across the United States.
Bonnie Keeler, an assistant professor at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, is one of the authors. She and her co-authors were supported by the External Environmental Economics Advisory Committee (E-EEAC), an independent organization providing economic advice to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The E-EEAC was established after the EPA dissolved its own Environmental Economics Advisory Committee (EEAC) in 2018. ....

New Research on Food Quality Inspection, Certification, and Disclosure

New Research on Food Quality Inspection, Certification, and Disclosure

December 14, 2020
In a world of uncertainty, one thing is certain: food quality inspection, certifications, and disclosure can provide some measure of assurance to consumers. In an AAEA session taking place virtually at the 2021 ASSA Annual Meeting, researchers will discuss the economics of information with examples from the coffee, meat and poultry, and wine industries.
Organizer of the session, John Bovay from Virginia Tech says, “The fascinating thing about food quality is that it is largely hidden from the consumer. How can you tell whether a bottle of French red wine is produced according to strict standards or made from a blend of juices with little quality control? What are the environmental implications of your cup of Brazilian coffee? Is your meat and poultry safe to eat, or might ....
