Due to a printer’s error, Proposition 2 in the above article was published incorrectly. The correct version of Proposition 2 is shown below.
Proposition 2: Let the wealth of poor injurers be given by yp , yˆ, and the wealth of rich injurers by yr . E(h)/q. If the proportion of poor injurers, p, is sufficiently large, then
expected total costs are strictly smaller under joint use of regulation and liability than under either regulation or liability alone.
