The Regulation Of Technology, And The Technology Of Regulation, Jonathan B. Wiener Jan 2004

The Regulation Of Technology, And The Technology Of Regulation, Jonathan B. Wiener

Faculty Scholarship

Regulation may inhibit or stimulate technological change. The relationship depends on the technology of regulation - the design and instrument choice of regulatory policy. This essay examines the history of economic and social regulations over the last three decades, the explanatory power of theories of regulatory politics, the choice of regulatory instruments, the assessment of regulatory impacts, and the influence of each of these on the innovation and diffusion of technology (and of regulation). It concludes with recommendations for the future of regulation and technology.
