#OECD #OIXO OECD Regulatory Policy Committee launching its 17th meeting, discussing country approaches to regulatory offsetting (One-In, X-Out)

#OIXO #nudge One in, X out schemes can provide a nudge for government agencies to change this behaviour by forcing them to consider the costs of new and existing rules. The simple metric provided puts the agencies effort at cutting red tape on display, increasing the incentive to cut down on unnecessary costs.
One in, X out rules provide a legislative “push” by mandating a set number of regulations to be removed, and a behavioral “nudge” of changing the regulatory culture within agencies. Together, these can ease a bureaucracy into a deregulatory stance. Whether or not that’s a good thing is up to the government to decide. https://www.thebehaviouralist.com/2for1/

#OIXO #offsetting During the last decade, governments have shown increasing interest in curbing the growth of regulation by requiring that one or more regulations be removed before a new regulation can be added. We provide a comprehensive review of this innovation in regulatory policy. There are three main conclusions that flow from our analysis: First, while some governments claim this policy has made regulatory agencies more sensitive to regulatory costs, none of the countries we review has demonstrated that this policy innovation has actually led to improvements in economic efficiency. Second, all of these policies are implemented in conjunction with a requirement related to the economic impact of regulations. Typically, the economic requirement is that the costs associated with the new regulation be less than the costs associated with the regulations being removed. For existing applications, these costs have been defined narrowly, and they do not provide a good measure of the full social costs of a policy. The US appears to be adopting a markedly different approach that will consider both economic costs and benefits. Third, we find support for the hypothesis that centrist or conservative political parties are more likely to implement these policies. https://techpolicyinstitute.org/policy_paper/understanding-regulatory-innovation-the-political-economy-of-removing-old-regulations-before-adding-new-ones/

#Trump #OIXO This week, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs released a status report on agencies’ progress on regulations. In only its first 10 months, the Trump administration has far exceeded its promise to eliminate two existing regulations for each new one—an unprecedented advance against the regulatory state. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-trump-regulatory-game-plan-1513210177

#OIXO #reduction #OECD #US #Trump Одним из новых инструментов регуляторики в последние 7-8 лет является правило "один за один/два/множество" для вводимых актов (и одновременной отмены действовавших, одного или множества). В России правило '1х1' было введено в 2015, но работает слабо. В новом обзоре ОЭСР представлены первые результаты внедрения в ряде стран, наибольшую динамику демонстрирует США за последний год ('1х2' было предвыборным обещанием Трампа): де-факто 4 -кратный offsetting, 23 млрд. долларов снижения издержек.👇👇
