Description
This title offers a study of attempts to deregulate and roll back the state in Britain from 1979-1997. Compliance cost assessment was the tool used by the UK government to evaluate the likely impact of legislative proposals on business. The book analyzes the system and, using case studies, evaluates its performance as a technique of economic appraisal and as a way of controlling civil servants. Comparisons are made with the European "Fiche d'impact" and the American regulatory impact analysis.
