Indicators of Regulatory Management Systems

Abstract

The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 30 democracies work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies.The OECD member countries are:

An Assessment of Occupational Health and Safety Regulations in Ghana: A Study of the Construction Industry

“…Regulation refers to laws or rules that have their origin in the legislative arm of government which seek to effectively manage OHS issues that negatively impact on persons whether employed or not. According to [38], the effectiveness of Table 1 presents a summary of indicators that cover these areas.…”

Regulatory Management Systems Across OECD Countries

“…The development of relevant composite indicators of regulatory quality processes rests on capturing appropriate key elements of regulatory quality and on devising a broadly acceptable means of constructing the indicators such as choosing how to frame the composite indicators, selecting questions to be included and calibrating the weights to be employed. As a first stage, composite indicators could be built for the various policy areas explored by the 2005 indicators (see Jacobzone, Choi, Miguet, 2007, Table 1).…”

“…The data available for 1998-2005 are often more restricted than the full data for 2005 only. The analysis follows the taxonomy of previous reports, adopted in Jacobzone, Choi, Miguet (2007), relating to policies, institutions, processes and tools which represent the core features of quality practices in regulatory management systems.…”

“…Because of the multiple elements within the RIA topic, a country's score may be made up from a range of 2. Figure 1, Jacobzone, Choi, Miguet (2007). variable responses.…”

Reforming the Slovak Public Sector

“…However, in Slovakia the regulatory framework has been frequently changed without sufficient analysis of its impact on the private sector via regulatory impact assessments. The processes and the institutions for ensuring the quality of impact assessments throughout the decisionmaking process do not seem to have been adequate to prevent continued excessive regulatory and administrative barriers and until the latter years of the last decade were well away from best practice (Jacobzone et al, 2007). Against this background the rules and institutions of Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) had to be re-formulated.…”
