The purpose of this paper is to determine the influence of federal mine safety inspections on underground coal mine accidents. An economic incentives model is developed to relate federal enforcement activities to accident rates. The determinants of accident rates are analyzed for 535 coal mines during the period 1973-75. Estimates based on these data when applied to the model indicate that increasing inspections by 25 per cent would have produced a 13 per cent decline in fatal accidents and an 18 per cent decline in disabling accidents.
本文旨在确定联邦矿山安全检查对地下煤矿事故的影响。构建了一个经济激励模型,将联邦执法活动与事故率联系起来。分析了1973 - 1975年期间535座煤矿事故率的决定因素。根据这些数据应用于该模型的估计表明,检查增加25%将使致命事故减少13%,致残事故减少18%。
