The Court denied standing for this purpose, holding that such general adverse economic effects did not amount to an injury to the state in its “property” within the meaning of the pertinent statute.Google Scholar

6 It is not entirely clear, however, whether the Data Processing decision has conclusively swept the field concerning standing. The Supreme Court has recently issued a number of significant decisions on constitutional standing concerning the requirement of a causal nexus. See, e.g., Duke Power Co. v. North Carolina Environmental Group, 438 U.S. 59 (1978); Simon v. Eastern Ky. Welfare Rights Org., 426 U.S. 26 (1976); Schlesinger v.
