"Regulation" has long been a venomous term in the conservative vocabulary, and "deregulation" (of the airlines and the trucking industry) has recently acquired a benign definition in the liberal lexicon. Across the political spectrum, there has been growing distrust of regulators, their motives, and their methods. The naive assumption that regulation necessarily operates in the public interest has been replaced by a healthy skepticism in some quarters, and by a facile (and often self-serving) cynicism in others. And yet the public goals of regulation are still widely regarded as desirable: the

How does risk labeling information on hazardous household chemicals and pesticides influence consumer behavior? While many studies speculate on the effects of risk information, Magat and Viscusi draw on a series of extensive surveys to assess the likely response. Their set of original studies of household chemicals, energy audits, and food risk labeling establishes guidelines for the design and evaluation of these informational regulations. Their findings also include new estimates of the valuation of nonfatal health risks, the first estimates in the literature of the role of altruism, and an

This book explores public utility regulation using an economic framework of regulation. The purpose of regulation is to promote economic efficiency and perhaps fairness by putting restrictions on the economic opportunities of the utility firm. This framework allows the author to specify what a regulator must do to maximize the economic benefits to consumers. This book is written for regulators, utilities, and academics interested in the study of regulation.

How are pharmaceutical technologies developed and controlled in our societies? To what extent should the availability of these technologies be determined by scientific experts, a democratic state, the interests of final users, or ethical principles? This unique collection brings together the work of social scientists, ethicists, lawyers, and policy analysts on regulation, ethics and innovation in the pharmaceutical industry. Regulatory systems and their implications for public health in North America, Europe, and developing countries are discussed, including case studies of norplant, interfero

This book comes at a critical time for the future development of sports law. Sport is becoming increasingly commercialised, but its regulation is fragmentary and it is difficult to delineate issues of pure sport and issues of business. In this volume, eminent sports law scholars examine the relationship between sport, business and policy. They analyze how law regulates sport and sports business and demonstrate the need to redefine the frontier between ’Sporting’ rules and regulations and legal regulation. It is suggested that sporting bodies and associations have a significant role

This book suggests that the scope and breadth of regulatory reforms since the mid-1980s and particularly during the 1990s, are so striking that they necessitate a reappraisal of current approaches to the study of the politics of regulation. The authors call for the adoption of different and fresh perspectives to examine this area. The contributors to this volume analyze how regulatory regimes that were once peculiar to the US and a few industries have, in recent years, come to define the best practice of governance over the world capitalist economy and over numerous social and economic sec
