DESCRIPTION:Internalizing Externalities through Public Pressure: Transparen
 cy Regulation for Fracking\, Drilling Activity and Water Quality\n\nPresen
 ted by Christian Leuz\n\nDistinguished Service Professor of Accounting and
  Finance\n	Booth School of Business\, University of Chicago\n\nDate: Friday
 \, October 25\, 2024\n	Time: 10:30 AM – 12:00 pm\n	Location: Armstrong Build
 ing\, Room 255\n\nAll are cordially invited to attend.\n\n\nAbstract: \n\n
 Responding to the rise of hydraulic fracturing (HF) and its risks to water
  quality\, U.S. states mandated disclosure for HF wells. We study whether 
 targeting corporate activities with dispersed externalities with transpare
 ncy reduces their environmental impact. We examine salt concentrations con
 sidered signatures for HF impact and find significant and lasting improvem
 ents in surface water quality between 9-14%\, coming mostly from the inten
 sive margin. We document that operators improve environmental performance\
 , cause fewer HF wastewater spills and use fewer hazardous chemicals. Turn
 ing to how transparency regulation works\, we show that it increases publi
 c pressure and enables social movements\, which facilitates internalizatio
 n.\n
