Abstract

In recent years, a number of legal scholars have advocated “new governance” approaches to regulation. New governance scholars eschew both traditional command-and-control and complete deregulation models, instead focusing on middle-ground hybrid approaches in which legal actors seek to emulate private-sector success stories. New governance narratives paint a sometimes rosy picture of the potential benefits of this kind of hybrid approach. This Article uses William Simon’s legal scholarship about Toyota as a jumping-off point to examine the framing of new governance narratives. New governance proposals often follow a particular story line, setting out empirical and case-study driven accounts of how to build a better mousetrap based on private-sector successes. This narrative structure is intuitive and is psychologically appealing. However, it may be prone to overstate causal connections, due to a variety of behavioral biases such as confirmation bias, hindsight bias, and representativeness heuristic. Scholars cognizant of these potential issues can better “tune up” the new governance framework.
新的治理调整:行为洞察如何帮助完善新的治理监管叙述
近年来,一些法律学者提倡“新治理”的监管方法。新的治理学者避开了传统的命令控制和完全放松管制模式,而是专注于中间地带的混合方法,在这种方法中,法律行为者寻求模仿私营部门的成功故事。新的治理叙述为这种混合方法的潜在好处描绘了一幅有时很美好的图景。本文以威廉·西蒙(William Simon)关于丰田(Toyota)的法律研究为出发点,考察新治理叙事的框架。新的治理建议往往遵循一个特定的故事主线,以经验和案例研究为基础,阐述如何在私营部门成功的基础上建立更好的捕鼠器。这种叙事结构是直观的,在心理上很有吸引力。然而,由于各种行为偏差,如确认偏差、后见之明偏差和代表性启发式,它可能容易夸大因果关系。认识到这些潜在问题的学者可以更好地“调整”新的治理框架。
