Rules in the Making: A Statistical Analysis of Regulatory Agency Behavior

By Alan J. Krupnick, Winston Harrington, Wesley A. Magat, et al.

Rules in the Making represents an attempt to revolutionize ways of thinking about regulatory decision-making. The book tries to show that statistical methodologies can be used to determine what factors are important in the establishment of government regulation by developing a mathematical model of the regulatory process and agency behavior. The model is then tested using a case study of the Environmental Protection Agency's setting of effluent discharge standards under the Clean Water Act. Originally published in 1986
