Abstract

The growth of rules in modern democracies burdens citizens, businesses, and administrative bodies. To address this, many governments have implemented so‐called “regulatory offsetting schemes,” requiring the removal of existing rules and regulations for each new one introduced. However, systematic knowledge on which countries have adopted these schemes and their specific designs remains lacking. Our study maps regulatory offsetting initiatives across OECD states and offers a first theoretical framework for understanding government adoption. While political and ideational factors influence the adoption of offsetting schemes, they do not explain their specific design. Offsetting schemes thus reflect the political tensions between advocates for an activist state and supporters of a more restrained government, with design being of secondary importance. These findings enhance our understanding of how governments and public administrations manage rule growth.
先进民主国家的监管抵消
现代民主国家的规则越来越多,给公民、企业和行政机构造成了负担。为解决这一问题,许多国家的政府实施了所谓的 "监管抵消计划",要求每出台一项新的规则和法规,就必须取消现有的规则和法规。然而,关于哪些国家采用了这些计划及其具体设计的系统性知识仍然缺乏。我们的研究描绘了经合组织国家的监管抵消举措,并为理解政府的采用提供了第一个理论框架。虽然政治和意识形态因素会影响抵消计划的采用,但并不能解释其具体设计。因此,抵消计划反映了积极国家倡导者和克制政府支持者之间的政治矛盾,而设计则是次要的。这些发现加深了我们对政府和公共管理部门如何管理规则增长的理解。
