Abstract

It is now well recognized that all types of regulation are imposing costs on our society. The studies which have tried to evaluate these costs are numerous and their methologies are diversified. This paper is proposing a critical analysis of these methodologies and of the results obtained by researchers who have tried to evaluate the costs of regulation. Before that, however, we develop an analytical framework for examining the impact of regulation on firms'costs, economic efficiency and the well-being of the population in general. This section will be based on cost-benefit analysis Il est de plus en plus reconnu que la réglementation omniprésente autour de nous impose un coût important à nos économies. Les études qui ont cherché à estimer ce coût sont nombreuses et les méthodologies utilisées sont variées. Ce texte propose une analyse critique des méthodologies développées et des résultats obtenus par les chercheurs qui ont estimé les coûts directs de la réglementation pour les économies modernes.0501s avant de ce faire, nous développerons un cadre d'analyse de l'impact de la réglementation sur les coûts des entreprises, sur l'efficacité économique et le bien-être de la population. Cette section se basera sur l'analyse avantages-coûts.
