“…Through this process of close reading of participant responses, we observed that debate among participants’ views often hinged on contradictory definitions of what counted as RI and competing perspectives on the purpose and function of regulation. We also note that participant references to “regulation” in the platform were not exclusively referring to the rules set forth by public regulatory agencies, but referred to a broader range of voluntary and compulsory expectations and norms that govern a range of public and private forms of what scholars typically refer to as regulation and governance (Ayres & Braithwaite, 1992; Phillips Sawyer & Hovenkamp, 2019; Scott, 2002). In other words, participants frequently referred to more oversight and governance-based mechanisms and themes rather than strict regulatory actions and practices.…”

Historically, market regulation has played an important role in shaping the trajectory of scientific and technological innovation in food and agriculture. However, regulators’ traditional focus on safety and efficacy may be insufficient to address more complex ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of novel products, such as the use of nanotechnology and nanomaterials in food and agriculture (nano-agrifoods). One solution might be to implement the principles of responsible innovation (RI) to challenge innovators and policymakers to better anticipate risks further upstream and be responsive to societal desires and concerns, although substantial barriers to implementation persist. This paper presents stakeholder views on the relationship between regulation and RI in nano-agrifoods based on a broader U.S. stakeholder engagement study conducted in the fall of 2020. We found that participants raised key issues that incorporated all 4 pillars of RI (anticipation, inclusion, reflexivity, responsiveness). We also found that participants’ attitudes about the relationship between regulation and innovation informed their recommendations about the relationship between regulation and RI. These attitudes are represented in a spectrum of views, ranging from “regulation as barrier” to “regulation as driver” of innovation. We further identified implications for how each attitude might be used to operationalize RI in regulatory systems. Overall, these results suggest that just as regulation drove key innovations in the twentieth century, regulation may still have a role to play in helping to promote RI of nano-agrifoods in the twenty-first.

“…W pierwszym przypadku, zgodnie z ekonomią dobrobytu, wskazuje się, że regulacja może poprawić dobrobyt społeczny poprzez ograniczanie niedoskonałości rynku wynikających np. z jego struktury, asymetrii informacji czy negatywnych efektów zewnętrznych (Sawyer i Hovenkamp, 2019). Przy tym regulacja odbywa się przy zerowych kosztach transakcyjnych, co wzmacnia motywację dla jej nieograniczonego zakresu (Dudley i Brito, 2012).…”

Celem artykułu była ocena znaczenia barier we współpracy pomiędzy regulatorem a przedsiębiorstwami w zakresie regulacji z perspektywy ekonomii behawioralnej. Do osiągnięcia celu badawczego wykorzystano wyniki badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych w urzędach regulacyjnych w Polsce: w Urzędzie Komunikacji Elektronicznej (UKE, n = 107) oraz w Urzędzie Regulacji Energetyki (URE, n = 157). Wyniki badania wykazały relatywnie większe znaczenie barier dotyczących skłonności do ryzyka, oceny rynku i wyboru narzędzia regulacji, a także braku partnerskich stosunków współpracy i zaufania. Jednocześnie badani wskazali na relatywnie mniejsze znaczenie braku potrzeby współpracy, zniechęcania do współpracy i nieuczciwości działań. W kilku przypadkach stwierdzono istotne statystycznie różnice w ocenie tych barier pomiędzy urzędnikami UKE i URE. W analizie barier z perspektywy ekonomii behawioralnej wskazano na znaczenie teorii perspektywy, heurystyki zakotwiczenia, efektu ramowania, efektu nadmiernej pewności, efektu status quo oraz na zjawiska szumu.
