ReadThe objective of the RPI is to promote the study of the regulation of economic activity, with a view to deepening our understanding of the drivers and impacts, intended and unintended, of a range of public policies, and thereby to contribute to more effective policy development in the future.

Our blog provides an opportunity for members of the RPI, and guest commentators, to express personal views of regulatory matters. It will sometimes include essays, sometimes biographies and snippets, and sometimes will highlight research papers, possibly from earlier years, that still seem relevant to current issues.
