Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study analyzed the political feasibility of legal rules on accident prevention and an effective regulatory framework to maintain the risk of serious accidents for companies at a socially desirable level. The study focused on three key aspects: 1. optimal allocation of regulatory authority based on politically feasible accident size; 2. prevention of regulatory capture; and 3. provision of information by regulatory agencies (bureaucrats). It was found that the optimal disaster prevention and mitigation measures differ depending on the expected accident size, and that delegating more safety authority to operators may reduce the impact of politicians' re-election incentives on the realization of optimal disaster prevention and mitigation measures.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

過酷事故は企業の業績や信頼に大きな悪影響を及ぼす可能性を有する一方で、適切な規制制度に基づく事故対策は企業の信頼性と持続可能性を高め、産業全体の発展に寄与する。加えて、安全な社会環境の確保は、国民生活の安定にとって不可欠なものである。本研究によって得られる知見は、過酷事故に対する適切な規制制度の設計や運用を考えるための新しい視点を与えるという意味で、社会的意義を有するものであると考える。
