摘要：

This paper estimates and compares the social costs and benefits of enforcement of the U. S. Coast Guard's oil spill prevention program. Estimates of the volume of oil, cleanup costs, and environmental damages that were averted as a result of this program are based on actual spill data, case studies, and various economic assumptions. It is estimated that the social benefits of this program exceed its costs, both in the aggregate and at the margin. The marginal cost to society of preventing a gallon of oil from being spilled is estimated to be 5. 50 (with the benefit being 7. 27).
