Publicizing firms' socially undesirable actions may enhance firms' incentives to avoid such actions. In 2009, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) began issuing press releases about facilities that violated safety and health regulations. Using quasi-random variation arising from a cutoff rule OSHA followed, I find that publicizing a facility's violations led other facilities to substantially improve their compliance and experience fewer occupational injuries. OSHA would need to conduct 210 additional inspections to achieve the same improvement in compliance as achieved with a single press release. Evidence suggests that employers improve compliance to avoid costly responses from workers.

羞辱监管：公开违反工作场所安全与卫生法的威慑作用

宣传公司的社会不良行为可能会增强公司避免此类行为的动机。2009年，美国职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）开始发布有关违反安全与健康法规的设施的新闻稿。通过遵循OSHA截止规则产生的准随机变化，我发现宣传设施的违规行为导致其他设施大大提高了它们的依从性，并减少了职业伤害。OSHA将需要进行210次额外检查，以实现与一次新闻发布相同的合规性改进。有证据表明，雇主可以提高合规性，以避免工人付出昂贵的代价。
