Bureau Of Business And Economic Research: May 29, 1984, University Of New Mexico Bureau Of Business And Economic Research

This report proposes a two-part economic criteria test—consisting of a Profit Protection Test and an Investment Ability Test—to help the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Division evaluate the financial "reasonableness" of mandated pollution control technologies. Rather than using rigid closure benchmarks, the framework allows regulators to set flexible, case-by-case profit-reduction breakpoints by balancing local economic impacts against environmental severity.

Costs And Benefits Of The Proposed Occupational Health And Safety Regulation: 202-Firefighting, University Of New Mexico Bureau Of Business And Economic Research

BBER Publications

This report presents a preliminary economic cost-benefit analysis regarding proposed occupational health and safety standards for firefighters in New Mexico. Looking specifically at personal equipment upgrades and medical surveillance criteria for 7,426 professional and volunteer firefighters, the study determines that the quantified costs are approximately $87,000 per year. The author concludes that this investment is modest compared to the immense socioeconomic value of preventing even a single line-of-duty death or severe injury, meaning the regulation is highly likely to yield positive net benefits.
