Regulatory Economics
Regulatory economics is generally an application of public choice theory to markets and market interventions.
Descriptions
This field studies the markets in the context of regulations, taxes, and other interventions by the legitimate political state or by an international order.
The most common justification for this branch of economic study is to correct market failures. There are more normative studies as well, which blur the line between regulatory economics and welfare economics.
A key concept is regulatory capture. Depending on perspective, this is either:
- a business strategy to 'get ahead' of regulations (i.e., self-regulate then campaign for government agencies to adopt those regulations) and grow strategic advantages over competitors
- a condition affecting government agencies whereby their public stewardship is subverted
