This paper draws on a much larger study entitled “The Efficacy of the Tort System and Its Alternatives: A Review of the Empirical Evidence” undertaken for the American Law Institute. Portions have appeared in a paper presented to an AERE workshop on innovations in environmental law (Dewees 1992b). I wish to thank participants in that workshop, in the 1991 conference of the European Association for Law and Economics, in the economics workshops at York University, Michael Trebilcock, Michael Faure and Janet Landa, for comments on earlier versions of the paper. Funding has been provided by the Social Sciencies and Humanities Research Council of Canada and by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.
