Abstract

This study contributes to the understanding of informational approaches to bringing about compliance with environmental regulations with particular attention to differences in the influence of information provided by different information sources. Based on theorizing from a combination of information processing and interest group literatures, we develop hypotheses about regulatees' reliance upon and the influence of different sources of information. We test these hypotheses for Danish farmers' compliance with agro-environmental rules. Our findings show that information plays a role in bringing about regulatory compliance, but its influence is not as strong and is less direct than might be thought to be the case. In addition, we show that not all information sources have the same influence. The findings demonstrate that interest groups have important roles in information provision and legitimization of policies that have often been assumed in the literature but have rarely been empirically examined.
信息、利益和环境法规
这项研究有助于理解为遵守环境条例而采取的信息方法,特别注意不同信息来源提供的信息的影响的差异。基于信息加工和利益群体文献的理论结合,我们提出了关于不同信息来源的依赖和影响的假设。我们对丹麦农民遵守农业环境规则的假设进行了检验。我们的研究结果表明,信息在实现监管合规方面发挥了作用,但它的影响并不像人们想象的那么强烈,也不像人们想象的那么直接。此外,我们表明并非所有信息源都具有相同的影响。研究结果表明,利益集团在信息提供和政策合法化方面发挥着重要作用,这在文献中经常被假设,但很少得到实证检验。
