称重监管成本的尺度

本书根据立法授权审查监管机构监管费用的计算和评估。A serious limitation in that enterprise, the possibility of technological change and innovation, often compromises those efforts and has long been under-appreciated in standard ‘cost-benefit analysis.’ Regulators who study the inducement of innovation and the avoidance of regulatory costs by the regulated often find significant cost-saving opportunities, leading to more stringent and more effective risk governance. Ultimately, the weighing of costs in this more elaborate model is more than simple welfare maximization. It views regulatory costs as important to society for a range of reasons, some grounded in fairness and some in deliberative process values, as a society seeks to minimize all costs over time.

本分析通过比较三个具有启发性的案例研究中的成本计算方法和评估工具，将监管成本的权重置于背景中。它评估了不同规范框架下的成本分析方法，并强调了技术创新在成本最小化方面的作用，同时考虑了多种监管工具选择导致的监管成本。一项单一的监管成本调查从机构跟踪到立法机构，再到机构选择，概述了以共识为导向的成本保理方法的步骤。
