Public Regulation studies the formation of institutions and
government policies that regulate industry, offering new data, new
contexts, and new tools for analyzing the structure and performance
of regulatory activity. It addresses both how these institutions
and policies came into being and how well or poorly they work. The
contributors examine them variously, from economic, political,
social, and historical points of view.The eleven original essays
propose and demonstrate a wide variety of new techniques for
assessing regulatory performance -- general equilibrium theory,
laboratory methods, the integration of rational expectations and
game theory methods with regulations, cost-functions techniques,
and probabilistic risk analysis -- to reveal new empirical data
from a range of regulated industries -- agriculture, natural gas,
nuclear power, airlines, health and environment.Essays in the
book's first part, "Design and Formation of Regulatory Regimes,"
deal with the shaping of institutions and policies and with the
political evolution of regulatory regimes. The second part of the
book, "Assessment of Regulatory Performance," covers theory and
methods, performance and effects.Public Regulation is fourteenth in
the series Regulation of Economic Activity, edited by Richard
Schmalensee.
