Evaluating the quality of Regulatory Impact Analysisa literature review

Resumo

Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) is an instrument that can provide information and knowledge to decision makers to assess whether a given regulation is capable of achieving its objectives, with acceptable impacts and reasonable costs. For RIA to be useful and guide good decisions, it is not enough that it is carried out; it needs to be of quality. This research aimed to understand the current stage of the literature on RIA quality evaluation and offer practical and theoretical contributions, as well as an agenda for future studies. Through literature review, 26 empirical articles were identified and examined. A decreasing pace of publications and the use of various dimensions and methods for evaluating the quality of RIA were identified. It was found that the RIAs performed in the last 40 years have shown important weaknesses and inconsistencies that can compromise their use. In order to advance the knowledge on the topic, new studies that evaluate the quality of the RIA in different countries and regions, with a critical approach to the methods used, and that identify political and institutional factors related to analyses of higher or lower quality were suggested.
