Do Federal Regulations Reduce Mortality?

By Robert W. Hahn, W. Kip Viscusi, Randall W. Lutter, et al.

This is a timely and rigorous examination of one of the most contested questions in public policy, where AEI scholar Robert W. Hahn weighs the real-world costs and benefits of federal environmental, health, and safety regulation, exploring which rules truly save lives and which backfire, and offering policymakers and citizens an evidence-based framework for judging regulatory reform, risk, and government intervention beyond partisan rhetoric.

This monograph assesses how the adverse health implications associated with regulatory costs can affect mortality risk by considering a broad group of federal regulations.
