Abstract

Utilizing a general equilibrium framework, this paper studies the economic effects of product-quality regulation in competitive ma rket structures. The analysis considers both the short-run and long-r un implications of such regulation upon factor rewards and allocation s and upon product price. It also characterizes the adjustment path t o a competitive long-run equilibrium. The positive relation between r egulated quality and product price is described, and identification o f who gains and who loses and how resource allocations are affected i s shown to depend upon factor intensity rankings.
