Institutional Roles and Goals for Retrospective Regulatory Analysis
Despite repeated calls for retrospective regulatory review by every President since the 1970s, progress on implementing such reviews has been slow. We argue that part of the explanation for the slow progress to date stems from misalignment between the goals of regulatory review and the institutional framework used for the review. We define three distinct goals of regulatory review – the rule relevance goal, the rule improvement goal, and the regu…
Policy Shock
Policy Shock examines how policy-makers in industrialized democracies respond to major crises. After the immediate challenges of disaster management, crises often reveal new evidence or frame new normative perspectives that drive reforms designed to prevent future events of a similar magnitude. Such responses vary widely - from cosmetically masking inaction, to creating stronger incentive systems, requiring greater transparency, reorganizing gove…
The Reality of Precaution
The 'Precautionary Principle' has sparked the central controversy over European and U.S. risk regulation. The Reality of Precaution is the most comprehensive study to go beyond precaution as an abstract principle and test its reality in practice. This groundbreaking resource combines detailed case studies of a wide array of risks to health, safety, environment and security; a broad quantitative analysis; and cross-cutting chapters on politics, la…

Uncertain risks regulated
edited by Michelle Everson and Ellen Vos, New York, Routledge-Cavendish, 2009, xix + 430 pp., US$145, ISBN 9781844721627 by Joakim Zander, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2010, xxxi + 376 pp
What Begat Property
How can we explain the emergence of property rights from their absence, in the face of incentives to overuse open-access resources and obstacles to collective agreement on property systems? Blackstone said "necessity begat property," and Bentham said "property and law were born together," but neither explained the process of conception, gestation, and delivery. Modern economists have sought to identify the institutional mechanisms enabling the bi…
Theorizing and Generalizing about Risk Assessment and Regulation through Comparative Nested Analysis of Representative Cases
This article provides a framework and offers strategies for theorizing and generalizing about risk assessment and regulation developed in the context of an on‐going comparative study of regulatory behavior. Construction of a universe of nearly 3,000 risks and study of a random sample of 100 of these risks allowed us to estimate relative U.S. and European regulatory precaution over a thirty‐five‐year period. Comparative nested analysis of cases se…
The precautionary principle and risk–risk tradeoffs
Empirical evidence for risk‐risk tradeoffs
Precaution Against Terrorism
Stunned by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Bush administration adopted a new National Security Strategy in September 2002. The UK government took a similar stance. This new strategy calls for anticipatory attacks against potential enemies with uncertain capacities and intentions, even before their threat is imminent. Rather than wait for evidence of weapons of mass destruction, it shifts the burden of proof, obliging “rogue” stat…

Catastrophe
The regulation of technology, and the technology of regulation
Comparing precaution in the United States and Europe
The regulation of health and environmental risks has generated transatlantic controversy concerning precaution and the precautionary principle (PP). Conventional wisdom sees the European Union endorsing the PP and proactively regulating uncertain risks, while the United States opposes the PP and waits for evidence of harm before regulating. Without favouring either approach, this paper critically analyses the conventional depiction of transatlant…
Global Environmental Regulation
A central issue in environmental law is the choice among regulatory instruments. From Pigou to Coase to the present, scholars have debated the relative merits of liability rules, property rules, technology standards, taxes, subsidies, and tradeable allowances. An emerging scholarly consensus in economics and law would crown taxes as the presumptive optimal instrument for controlling environmental externalities. But this debate has largely been co…
