The George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center, in conjunction with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, today released an updated publication of Regulation: A Primer by RSC Director Susan Dudley and Mercatus Senior Research Fellow Jerry Brito.
Federal regulations affect nearly every area of Americans’ lives, and public interest in regulation is increasing. However, many individuals do not know how regulations are developed or how they affect the lives of everyday American citizens. The Primer provides an accessible overview of regulatory theory, analysis, and practice to simplify the rulemaking process for academics and policy makers alike.
