| Title: | Measuring the Impacts of Food Safety Regulations: A Methodological Review |
| Authors: | Ragona, Maddalena
Mazzocchi, Mario |
| Keywords: | impact assessment
food safety regulation
quantitative methods |
| Issue Date: | 2008 |
| Abstract: | Together with a call for more effective and
efficient regulations in the EU, there is a growing demand for
transparency in the evaluation methods used to assess their
effects. This paper proposes a classification of the impacts that
food safety regulations can produce and discusses the
quantitative methods that are used in the literature to measure
those impacts. Along with the strengths and limitations of each
methodological approach, this review highlights other
transversal issues relevant when developing assessment
strategies, like the unbalance between ex-ante and ex-post
evaluation, the lack of adequate data, the difficulty of
estimating the dynamic effects of regulations, and the
possibility of endogenous relationships. |
