Abstract

In this Article, the authors survey how agencies create substantive regulations through traditional rulemaking, negotiated rulemaking and litigation. Using public choice analysis, the Article relates agency choice to the agency's incentive structure. The Article also shows how the different forms of regulatory activity influence the content of agency regulations. Using a case study of EPA's regulation of heavy duty diesel engines, the Article examines EPA's choices over 30 years as a means of testing the proposed theory. Finally, the Article concludes with a critique of allowing agencies to choose how they will regulate because it allows agencies to evade constraints imposed by Congress and the President and so diminishes political accountability.

选择如何监管

在本文中，作者考察了机构如何通过传统规则制定、协商规则制定和诉讼来制定实体规则。本文运用公共选择分析方法，将代理选择与代理激励结构联系起来。本文还说明了不同形式的监管活动对机构监管内容的影响。使用EPA的重型柴油发动机的监管的一个案例研究，文章检查了EPA的选择超过30年的一种手段，测试提出的理论。最后，该条款对允许机构选择如何监管进行了批评，因为它允许机构逃避国会和总统施加的限制，从而减少了政治责任。
