Abstract

Although the revision of the building code (effective from on June 20, 2007) is said to have influenced strategic behavior of the construction industry, no robust statistical research has been performed. In this paper, we examine whether the revision induced the industry to expect delays in the commencement of construction due to the complicated procedures of building certification under the revised law. Consistently, the empirical results show that the time span from the conclusion of a contract to (expected) the commencement of construction has been prolonged by the revision. This implies that the behavior and/or expectations of firms are important considerations in designing the effective and efficient public policy.
