Keep Regulators Honest.(cost-benefit analyses of state regulations)(Brief Article)
Keep Regulator Honest Robert W. Hahn, "State and Federal Regulatory Reform: A Comparative Analysis," in The Journal of Legal Studies (June 2000, part II), University of Chicago Press, Journals Division, Box 37005, Chicago, Illinois 60637.
American Enterprise Institute resident scholar Hahn reports that states are struggling to implement cost-benefit analyses of regulations.
About one-third of the states have some sort of economic review of regulations, but many of these are toothless. In 1988, for example, New York Governor Mario Cuomo required state regulators to show new rules made economic sense. Regulators simply filled out the required forms and continued to impose burdensome regulations. One law required hotels to place reflective room numbers at the bottom of doors, after a sixth-grader suggested this would help guests see where they were going when crawling during a fire.
