Expert Insights on Regulation

A Regulation is a rule enforced by an institution or government agency supported by the threat of sanction. Regulations attempt to produce outcomes that might not otherwise occur. Examples of regulation include attempts to control market entries, prices, wages, pollution, and employment. In economics, market failures are rectified by implementing regulations to prevent monopolies, inadequate information, and unseen externalities, and to promote collective action for the public good.

Gerson Lehrman Group Council Members are available to discuss Regulation via phone consultations, live meetings, surveys, and other custom GLG products and services.
