Risks, Costs, and Lives Saved: Getting Better Results from Regulation

By Robert W. Hahn

A deep-dive into a quarter-century of federal regulation, led by economist and scientist Robert W. Hahn unpacks the real costs and benefits of environmental, health, and safety rules, exposing how risk analysis, cost-benefit tradeoffs, and misplaced regulatory priorities shape law and policy, a must-read for government officials, lawyers, corporate leaders, and anyone seeking to separate genuine risk reduction from regulatory paranoia and neglect.

The authors -economists and scientists- seek in various ways to make regulation more sensible and effective.
