AN EVALUATION OF WHOLESALER ACCURACY IN JUDGING THE LEGALITY OF SELECTED ACTIVITIES
ROBIN T. PETERSON
Abstract
Wholesalers are subject to a wide variety of edicts at the federal, state, and local levels. This paper sets forth the results of an inquiry into the degree of knowledge held by a sample of wholesalers with regard to various major federal laws. A mail survey requested respondents to indicate their degrees of belief in the legality of a number of commercial practices. An analysis of the results, in total and by size of firm, resulted in various conclusions on perceptions of legality in this sector.
