Abstract/Description:

Both the United States and the European Union, and increasingly other jurisdictions as well, have created institutions to require and oversee impact assessment of new and existing regulatory policies (often using benefit-cost analysis or other evaluation tools). This chapter compares the US Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) (created in 1980) and the EU Regulatory Scrutiny Board (RSB) (formerly known as the Impact Assessment Board, IAB, created in 2006). We compare these regulatory oversight bodies regarding their structure, powers, functions, methods, and performance.
