For years, businesses have complained about the costs of regulatory compliance, arguing for freedom and flexibility through deregulation. On the other hand, society is becoming increasingly aware of the environmental, safety, health, financial, and other risks of business activity. Government oversight seems to be one of the answers to safeguard against these risks. But how can we deregulate and regulate at the same time, without jeopardizing our public goals or acting as a brake on economic growth? Entrepreneurs are particularly vulnerable: the costs of regulatory compliance may be prohibitive to business development, while the costs of non-compliance may land them in jail. Today, many instruments are available to assess the effects of laws regulating business. For example, the regulatory impact assessment (RIA), applied primarily in new or planned regulation, contains cost/benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, risk analysis, and cost assessments. The major limitation of the RIA is that it is conducted from the perspective of the government. The underlying theme of this book is that public goals will be achieved more effectively if compliance costs of the addressees—the enterprises—are as low as possible. Highlighting examples from a wide spectrum of industries and countries, the authors propose a new kind of RIA, the business impact assessment (BIA), designed to improve both business and public policy decision making. The result is a timely and incisive volume that will appeal to entrepreneurs and business leaders; regulators, lobbyists, and corporate lawyers; and researchers of entrepreneurship and business-government relations.

Uniek onderzoek naar het grootste rechtssysteem van de wereld en de werking op lokaal niveau. Veel van China's rivieren en meren zijn sterk vervuild, de lucht in de steden is het slechtste ter wereld, en als dit zo doorgaat, is er straks te weinig landbouwgrond om de eigen bevolking te voeden. Van Rooij bekijkt in 'Regulating Land and Pollution in China' waarom het zo moeilijk is geweest om de bescherming van natuurlijke hulpbronnen door strengere wetgeving en striktere handhaving aan te pakken. Dit doet hij door een lokale studie te combineren met theoretische inzichten in wetgeving, naleving

Most people would agree that it makes sense to tax a company that pollutes in a way that directly reflects the amount of environmental and social damage it has done. Yet in practice, such taxes are fraught with difficulty and have far-reaching implications. A company facing a new tax may lay off workers, for example, exacerbating an unemployment problem. This volume focuses on such external issues and examines in detail the trade-offs involved in designing policies to deal with environmental problems. Reflecting the broad nature of the subject, the contributors include leading economists in the areas of public finance, industrial organization, and trade theory, as well as environmental economists. Integrating both theoretical and empirical methods, they examine environmental policy design as it relates to location decisions, compliance costs, administrative costs, effects on research and development, and international factor movements. Shedding light on an extraordinarily complex and important topic, this collection will be of interest to all those involved in designing effective environmental policy.

Tax compliance costs tend to be disproportionately higher for small and young businesses. This paper examines how the quality of tax administration affects firm performance for a large sample of firms in emerging market and developing economies. We construct a novel, internationally comparable, and multidimensional index of tax administration quality (the TAQI) using information from the Tax Administration Diagnostic Assessment Tool. We show that better tax administration attenuates the productivity gap of small and young firms relative to larger and older firms, a result that is robust to controlling for other aspects of tax policy and of economic governance, alternative definitions of small and young firms, and measures of the quality of tax administration. From a policy perspective, we provide evidence that countries can reap growth and productivity dividends from improvements in tax administration that lower compliance costs faced by firms.
