Abstract

This research considers the experience of Brazilian agencies with the application of complex Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) using based on quantitative methods of cost-benefit analysis. Public consultations with regulatory agencies were held to verify how the agencies have applied RIA. The collection of documents and information allows us to conclude that Brazilian agencies have little or no experience in conducting RIA with quantitative cost-benefit analysis.
