Welfare Enhancing Regulation Exemptions, Murat C. Mungan Dec 2011

Welfare Enhancing Regulation Exemptions, Murat C. Mungan

Scholarly Publications

Sanctions for regulation violations are used to deter conduct which could potentially result in great social harms. This practice over-deters talented entities and under-deters untalented entities, which leads to social losses. This paper analyzes whether and how such social losses can be mitigated. I show that this can be achieved by allowing regulatees to purchase passes exempting them from regulations at appropriate prices.
