Management-Based Regulation: Prescribing Private Management To Achieve Public Goals, Cary Coglianese, David Lazer
Management-Based Regulation: Prescribing Private Management To Achieve Public Goals, Cary Coglianese, David Lazer
David Lazer
We analyze a little-studied regulatory approach that we call "management-based" regulation. Management-based regulation directs regulated organizations to engage in a planning process that aims toward the achievement of public goals, offering firms flexibility in how they achieve public goals. In this paper we develop a framework for assessing conditions for using management-based regulation as opposed to the more traditional technology-based or performance-based regulation. Drawing on case studies of management-based regulation in the areas of food safety, industrial safety, and environmental protection, we show how management-based regulation can be an effective strategy when regulated entities are heterogeneous and regulatory outputs are …

Local Government Planning Responses To The Physical Impacts Of Climate Change In New South Wales, Australia, Nadine E. White
Nadine E White
Effective policy responses of governments to the impacts of unavoidable climate change require effective adaptation plans. This paper presents the results of original research conducted in New South Wales, Australia, on the planning response of local governments for adapting to the physical impacts of climate change. Local government is the level of governance that is at the ‘coal face’ of dealing with sea level rise, coastal erosion, increased storm events, increased flooding, increased drought and other physical impacts of climate change in Australia. The study investigates the perceptions of local government planners regarding the actions taken within their local government …

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are growing in popularity as a governing model for delivery of public goods and services. PPPs have existed world-wide since the Roman Empire, but their expansion into traditional public projects today serious questions about public accountability. This article examines public accountability and its application to government and private firms involved in PPPs. An analytic framework is proposed for assessing the extent to which PPPs provide (or will provide) goods and services consistent with the goals of effectiveness, efficiency and equity. Six dimensions—risk, costs and benefits, political and social impacts, expertise, collaboration, and performance measurement—are incorporated into a …

An important question stemming from the collapse of the Soviet Union is how defense spending has influenced the economic performance of the 15 member states since their establishment as market economies. This study furthers the understanding of the relationship between defense spending and economic growth using data from the states of the former Soviet Union from 1992 to 2007. A nonlinear production function was used for direct effects, and models of investment and employment were employed for indirect effects. Contrary to expectations, the findings show that continued reliance on the defense sector in post-Soviet states has helped overall economic growth. …
