This comprehensive Handbook presents thoughtful analysis on how regulations can impact innovation within a number of regulatory fields and markets, and provides a greater understanding of regulatory complexity and the challenging task it presents for future research.

‘This Handbook offers new insights into the important question of how policy officials can best encourage welfare-enhancing innovation. Relying on rigorous theory, research, and evidence, it provides a nuanced but applied and accessible evaluation of how regulations can support or hinder emerging products and practices in a range of sectors and areas.’
– Susan Dudley, The George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center, US

‘This book provides a thoughtful examination of the complicated and sometimes unexpected relationships between regulation and innovation. It is an excellent read for policy makers and scholars who must weigh the forms, design, and trade-offs of regulation for an innovative society.’
