Summary
Lawmakers and regulators often have good intentions when they propose new rules. However, the accumulation of regulation over the past several decades has slowed economic growth, reduced employment opportunities, and disproportionately harmed low-income households.
Mercatus research on regulation identifies opportunities to improve the performance of the regulatory process and highlights market-based solutions to regulatory goals.
