Government Regulation And Small Business, Testimony Prepared For The U.S. House Of Representatives Committee On Small Business, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Government Regulation And Small Business, Testimony Prepared For The U.S. House Of Representatives Committee On Small Business, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
This testimony presents four major points regarding H.R. 7739 "Small Business Impact Statement Act of 1977" and H.R. 10632 "Small Business Regulatory Relief Act." First, there is concern that regulation hits smaller business disproportionately hard. Second, requiring a regulatory impact statement is a good one, as it helps government understand the effects of its actions. Third, the amount of paperwork required by specific impact statements is concerning. Finally, public policy would be better served by requiring a single comprehensive impact statement prior to the issuance of each new regulation.

The Taxpayer And Government Regulation, Robert Defina, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
Government regulation of business continues to be one of the fastest growing areas of the American economy. The bulk of the growing regulatory budget is devoted to newer areas of social regulation, such as job safety, energy and the environment, and consumer safety and health. Unlike the traditional regulating commissions, the agencies engaging in this type of regulation often have jurisdiction over virtually all companies, including many sectors of the economy which are generally not thought of as being regulated.

Government Regulation And The Cost Of Housing, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
One of the important factors in the rising prices in the housing market is the array of government regulations facing land developers, homebuilders, and financial institutions.

This paper examines the various effects of housing regulation and outlines the procedures for change.

Murray Weidenbaum Publications
The excessively rapid expansion of government regulation of business is slowing down the rate of innovation and scientific progress in the United States. The answer is not to eliminate all forms of government regulation, however. Rather, the sensible approach is to reform the existing array of regulation so as to achieve important social objectives with fewer of the adverse side effects.

It should be supported and enacted accordingly.
The Case For Tax Loopholes, Murray L. Weidenbaum
The Case For Tax Loopholes, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
Contrary to popular belief, tax expenditures or "loopholes" can in fact be useful. Given that the prompt elimination of large government deficit financing and pervasive government regulation is unlikely, tax expenditures may serve as a more sensible, second-best alternative. Indeed, tax expenditures (or incentives) may serve a variety of public purposes, ranging from promoting business investment to encouraging private, voluntary organizations. Typical tax expenditures tend to benefit the middle and lower income groups and should be considered an important alternative to achieve important government objectives.

It is not a question of advocating for the elimination of all government intervention in the economy, as many government programs do generate important benefits to the public.

This new paradigm must simultaneously help to achieve the nation's social goals while allowing business to pursue more efficient production of better goods and services.
