Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
An 8 page paper elaborating on the problem statement, hypotheses, sampling and statistical method used in the companion paper, KSmgmtDowTBL.rtf. The proposed method is that of applying regression analysis to Dow’s stock price performance after April 1994, the date that the company announced it would halt production of 1,1,1 trichloroethane by December 1995, years in advance of the cessation required either by international treaty by 2005 or by the US 1990 Clean Air Act by 2002. The goal is to determine whether Dow’s commitment to social responsibility and sustainability correlates with financial performance (i.e., the triple bottom line). Bibliography lists 8 sources. Includes an appendix containing expenditures 1993-2002 for environmental restoration and prevention, and another containing stock price data for the sample period.
