项目摘要
SES - 1123262 Don S. Grant IIUniversity of ArizonaOrganizational Determinants of Compliance with Greenhouse Gas Emissions StandardsAbstractCoal utility and oil refinery industries are thought to be responsible for nearly 40 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the U.S. While industry-level trends have been studied widely, we know little about the role of individual facilities or plants in GHG emission trends. This project addresses three research questions: Which coal-based power plants and oil refineries have the highest emission levels and emit the most GHGs per job? Which sets of organizational factors cause variation between GHG emissions at the plant level? How can we explain differences in responsiveness of plants to regulations at the state level?To answer these questions, this project will use a unique data set on individual facilities and their GHG discharges, to be released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The project will employ multivariate techniques as well a fuzzy set analytic methods that can determine which combinations of organizational factors are associated with differences in emission outcomes. Consistent with research on environmental disproportionalities and organizational configurations, the project tests four hypotheses: 1) GHG emissions and emissions-to-job ratios are unevenly distributed across facilities within the coal utility and oil refinery industries, 2) Those facilities with extreme GHG emission levels and emissions-to-jobs ratios share certain combinations of organizational characteristics, 3) These organizational "profiles" exert significant effects on GHG emission levels and emissions-to-jobs ratios even after controlling for other relevant factors, and 4) The response of facilities to different kinds of state-level climate change policies and regulations depends on their organizational profiles.This innovative project is the first of its kind and scope to study the causes of GHG emission outcomes at the facility or plant level. Analyses rely on heretofore unavailable data on the organizational sources of regulatory change and the effects of regulatory policies at the site of production. The proposed project will also pioneer a new possibility for secondary research connecting GHG emissions data with other information on the characteristics of facilities. Broader ImpactsFindings from this study may be used by future scholars to systematize their research and select the most causally relevant cases for comparative case studies. Findings from this project may also inform future environmental policies and regulations at state and federal levels, both with regard to GHG emissions as well as other environmental pollutants. Findings may also help federal officials decide which facilities are most likely to comply with which national regulatory standards. Moreover, findings may be of interest to industry, as it may become possible to target future regulatory initiatives at specific subsets of plants rather than devising regulations to which all plants in the coal and oil industries are subject. Finally, project results could support industry initiatives to optimize self-regulation and environmental performance of member facilities.
SES-1123262 Don S.Grant II亚利桑那州大学遵守温室气体排放标准的组织决定因素摘要煤炭公用事业和炼油行业被认为是美国近40%的温室气体(GHG)排放的罪魁祸首。虽然行业层面的趋势已被广泛研究,但我们对个别设施或工厂在温室气体排放趋势中的作用知之甚少。该项目解决了三个研究问题:哪些燃煤发电厂和炼油厂的排放水平最高,每个工作岗位排放的温室气体最多?哪些组织因素会导致工厂层面温室气体排放量之间的差异?我们如何解释不同工厂对州一级法规的反应差异?为了回答这些问题,该项目将使用环境保护局(EPA)将发布的关于单个设施及其温室气体排放的独特数据集。该项目将采用多变量技术以及模糊集分析方法,可以确定哪些组织因素的组合与排放结果的差异有关。与对环境不成比例和组织结构的研究相一致,该项目检验了四个假设:1)在煤炭公用事业和炼油行业内,温室气体排放和排放与工作比在设施中分布不均;2)那些温室气体排放水平和排放与工作比极端的设施共享某些组织特征组合;3)即使在控制其他相关因素后,这些组织“概况”仍对温室气体排放水平和排放与工作比产生重大影响。4)设施对不同类型的国家级气候变化政策和法规的反应取决于其组织结构。这一创新项目是第一个在设施或工厂层面研究温室气体排放结果原因的创新项目。分析依赖于迄今为止无法获得的关于监管变化的组织来源和生产现场监管政策的影响的数据。拟议的项目还将为二次研究开辟一种新的可能性,将温室气体排放数据与有关设施特征的其他信息联系起来。更广泛的影响这项研究的发现可能会被未来的学者用来系统化他们的研究,并选择因果关系最密切的案例进行比较案例研究。该项目的发现还可能为未来州和联邦一级的环境政策和法规提供参考,包括温室气体排放和其他环境污染物。调查结果还可能帮助联邦官员决定哪些设施最有可能符合哪些国家的监管标准。此外,调查结果可能会引起工业界的兴趣,因为未来可能会有针对特定工厂子集的监管举措,而不是制定煤炭和石油行业所有工厂都要遵守的监管规定。最后,项目成果可以支持行业倡议,以优化成员设施的自我监管和环境绩效。
