Using AI to Reduce State Regulations
Research from the Mercatus Center estimates that the effect of this regulatory growth has reduced U.S. economic growth by roughly 0.8 percent annually since 1980 … The U.S. economy could be approximately 25 percent larger today had regulatory burdens remained at 1980 levels.

We fill this notable gap by constructing a novel measure of state‐level red …

Abstract We briefly describe the structure of a regulatory system that alleviates many of the problems that arise when elected officials delegate rulemaking authority to government agencies. These problems include principal-agent issues, monopoly provision, information asymmetry, and tragedy of the commons. This structure better aligns the incentives of regulators with those of legislators and wit…

Regulation and Economic Growth: Evidence from British Columbia’s Experiment in Regulatory Budgeting
We exploit a quasi-natural experiment to identify the effect of regulatory accumulation on economic growth. Following a decade of poor economic growth, the Canadian province of British Columbia implemented a regulatory budget in 2001. We use a difference-in-differences strategy to estimate the effect of this policy intervention, finding that British Columbia’s growth rate increased by about 25 per…

The political economy of Australian regulatory reform
Abstract The problem of regulatory accumulation has increasingly been recognised as a policy problem in its own right. Governments have then devised and implemented regulatory reform policies that directly seek to ameliorate the burdens of regulatory accumulation (e.g. red tape reduction targets). In this paper we examine regulatory reform approaches in Australia through the lens of policy innovat…

The Language of Rules: Textual Complexity in Banking Reforms
The banking reforms that followed the financial crisis of 2007–08 led to an increase in UK banking regulation from almost 400,000 to over 720,000 words, and to concerns about their complexity. We define complexity in terms of the difficulty of processing linguistic units, both in isolation and within a broader context, and use natural language processing and network analysis to calculate complexit…
