Relatively little is known about the possibilities and limitations of voluntary public programs. The so‐called 33/50 Program for reducing releases of certain toxic chemicals into the environment provides a useful instance for examination. In an investigation of toxics‐reduction outcomes, with states as units of analysis, economic and policy variables help to explain the results.
