The Benefits and cost of disclosing information about risk : what do we know about right-to-know? / Thomas C. Beierle

Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency and other government agencies removed information from their websites that they feared could invite attacks on critical public and private infraestructure. Accordingly, the benefits and costs of environmental information disclosure programs have come under increasing scrutiny. This article describes a framework for examining these benefits and cost and illustrates the frameworks through brief case studies of two information disclosure programs: risk management planning and materials accounting . The article outlines what we know and still need to find information disclosure programs in order to appopriately balance benefits and costs
