在本文中，我们研究两个问题。首先，我们探讨哪个实体（NHTSA或制造商）更有可能发起特定的汽车安全召回活动。其次，我们分析了车主对安全召回反应率的决定因素。我们的数据涵盖了六家最大的汽车制造商19年（1980- 1998年）的数据。我们发现有证据表明，政府发起了更大的，不太危险的召回涉及老型号和财务状况不佳的公司。廉价召回更有可能是制造商发起的。最大的业主维修反应与新的国内车辆在其首个车型年的新闻价值的危险缺陷。版权所有2002年由布莱克韦尔出版有限公司
In this paper, we investigate two questions. First, we explore which entity (the NHTSA or the manufacturer) is more likely to initiate a given auto safety recall campaign. Second, we analyze the determinants of owner response rates to safety recalls. Our data spans nineteen years (1980-98) for the six largest auto manufacturers. We find evidence that the government initiates larger, less hazardous recalls involving older models and financially weak firms. Inexpensive recalls are more likely to be manufacturer initiated. The largest owner repair responses are associated with newsworthy hazardous defects of new domestic vehicles in their inaugural model year. Copyright 2002 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd
