摘要

研究美国监管程序的学者通常会断言,规则制定已经 "僵化"--它已被程序性限制所束缚,以至于监管机构很难发布对社会有益的法规。然而,这种说法很少经过实证检验,在次联邦(即美国各州)层面尤其如此。但据称导致联邦机构僵化的因素在各州同样存在。我们利用来自全美 50 个州的 1460 名机构领导的原始调查数据,提出证据表明,州级机构发布了大量规则,而且似乎很快就会发布。然后,我们将重点放在了所谓导致僵化的程序限制上,并首次提出了一些在州一级质疑这一论点的证据。我们的结论是,对程序性监督机制对监管能力的所谓影响的担忧可能被夸大了。

Procedural constraints and regulatory ossification in the US states
Scholars of the US regulatory process routinely assert that rulemaking is “ossified”—that it has become so encumbered with procedural constraints that it is difficult for agencies to issue socially desirable regulations. Yet, this claim has rarely been subject to empirical testing, and this is particularly true at the sub‐federal (i.e., US state) level. But the same factors that allegedly cause ossification in federal agencies also exist in the states. Using original survey data from 1460 agency leaders from across all 50 states, we present evidence suggesting that state agencies issue numerous rules and appear to do so quickly. We then focus on the procedural constraints that supposedly drive ossification and present some of the first evidence questioning the argument at the state level. We conclude that fears about the supposed tendency of procedural oversight mechanisms on the ability to regulate may be exaggerated.

期刊介绍: Regulation & Governance serves as the leading platform for the study of regulation and governance by political scientists, lawyers, sociologists, historians, criminologists, psychologists, anthropologists, economists and others. Research on regulation and governance, once fragmented across various disciplines and subject areas, has emerged at the cutting edge of paradigmatic change in the social sciences. Through the peer-reviewed journal Regulation & Governance, we seek to advance discussions between various disciplines about regulation and governance, promote the development of new theoretical and empirical understanding, and serve the growing needs of practitioners for a useful academic reference.
