| 讲座简介： | Abstract: Administrative procedures are the rules that govern how agencies of government (for instance, regulatory agencies) introduce rules and regulations. These laws also establish a process for courts to review agency decisions. In the United States, both federal and state governments are constrained by administrative procedures law. While there is a small body of scholarship that explains the potential role of administrative procedures, and a related literature that explores the origins of federal and state administrative procedures acts, there is little evidence of whether administrative procedures law affects regulatory outcomes. I will overview of the existing literature on administrative procedures and will present preliminary evidence of the impact that these laws have on regulatory decision-making, using state-level public utility commissions as a case study. |
