Major US federal regulatory decisions are developed and justified using regulatory impact analyses (RIAs) mandated by executive order. We examine the scientific citation activity in RIAs, a unique effort that we believe holds significant potential for understanding the use of science in policymaking. This paper reports preliminary findings from collecting and examining scientific citations in 104 RIAs from 2008–2012. We present evidence indicating that some agencies make extensive use of science in RIAs, that there is substantial variation in use across agencies, and show variation across journals and disciplines cited by regulatory agencies. Finally, we present analysis showing that regulatory policymakers make greater use of research published in highly cited scholarly journals. We conclude by outlining several future directions for research using these data.

“…Instrumental use corresponds most closely with the original intention of RIAs (OECD 2005). It, therefore, is not surprising that this direct form of utilization prevails in various recent studies on RIA usage (Ellig et al 2012;Shapiro & Morrall 2012;Taylor et al 2012).…”

Ex ante policy appraisals, such as Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs), are promoted because they are expected to inform decisionmakers and, thus, to lead to better quality regulation. Such instrumental use is not the only possible use of RIAs. Ex ante policy appraisal can affect the policy process in various ways. However, a consolidated theory on the conditions for utilization of RIAs in the policy process has yet to be developed. In order to explore these conditions, we analyze three case studies of Swiss decisionmaking processes and apply concepts from knowledge utilization literature. In conclusion, we find that policy arenas matter more than the institutional context and design of RIA procedures. In line with previous literature, political use seems to be a prevalent type of utilization. Yet we find that, under specific conditions, RIAs also provide a basis for the optimization of policy designs (instrumental use), help improve interagency relations (policy-process use), and may change how a policy issue is understood (conceptual use).

“…Um método crescentemente empregado nesse âmbito é o da Análise de Impacto Regulatório (AIR). Algumas agências reguladoras no Brasil vêm aderindo a AIR (ANEEL, 2014;ANTT, 2013;ANVISA, 2008), cuja maior vantagem, segundo a Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (1997), é ser uma ferramenta com maior compatibilidade com a avaliação de aspectos econômicos e sociais de interesse, os quais afetam o processo regulatório (EC, 2009;ELLIG;MCLAUGHLIN;MORRALL III, 2013;FRANCESCO;RADAELLI;TROEGER, 2012;JACOBS, 2006;OCDE, 1997;SALGADO;BORGES, 2010).…”

Resumo:No Brasil, a Análise do Impacto Regulatório (AIR) vem se consolidando nas últimas décadas nas agências reguladoras federais. A metodologia AIR tem como objetivo examinar o processo regulatório, medir os custos e os benefícios gerados, assim como outros efeitos de natureza social, política ou econômica que podem ser causados por uma regulação nova ou já existente. Ao analisar cada opção regulatória, o especialista trata variáveis de natureza qualitativa de difícil mensuração e de elevado grau de incerteza. O trabalho complementa a literatura existente, dado que poucos trabalhos no âmbito da AIR têm empregado metodologias de apoio à decisão que incorporem o conhecimento do especialista de forma independente do problema a ser tratado. Portanto, propõe-se uma abordagem exploratória usando um Sistema Especialista Fuzzy (SEF), o qual, incorporando o conhecimento tácito dos especialistas, contribui para enriquecer o processo de decisão na fase final de comparação das opções regulatórias, permitindo o acesso do tomador de decisão a um histórico de parte dos raciocínios de outros especialistas. Palavras-chave:Análise de Impacto Regulatório. Lógica Fuzzy. Sistema Especialista Fuzzy. Opção regulatória.Abstract: Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) has been consolidating in Brazilian regulatory agencies throughout the last decades. The RIA methodology aims to examine the regulatory process, measure the costs and benefits generated, as well as other effects of social, political or economic nature caused by a new or an existing regulation. By analysing each regulatory option, the expert or regulator faces a myriad of variables, usually of qualitative nature, that are difficult to measure and with a high degree of uncertainty. This research complements the existing literature, given the scarcity of decision support models in RIA thatregardless of the problem treated -incorporate the tacit knowledge of the regulation expert. This paper proposes an exploratory approach using a Fuzzy Expert System, which therefore helps to enrich the decision process in the final stage of comparison of the regulatory options.
