Reviews

'... a major contribution to the third wave of literature ... the quality of all of the contributions is very high. Their work merits attention from policy-makers and academics alike.' - Anthony Ogus, Professor of Law, University of Manchester and Research Professor, University of Maastricht
'The question of regulatory competition has come to center stage with widespread fears of a race to the bottom in the rapidly integrating world economy. This book, with penetrating and masterly essays by several of the leading authorities on the subject, is therefore immensely timely. Read and be informed.' - Jagdish Bhagwati, Andre Meyer Senior Fellow in International Relations, Council on Foreign Relations.

Description

Brings together well-known experts in the field from both Europe and the United States
Up to date, comprehensive, and detailed treatment of the subject

Regulatory Competition and Economic Integration addresses one of the hottest policy questions on both sides of the Atlantic: at what level of government should regulation be undertaken? Whether called 'federalism' or 'subsidiarity', the struggle between those who wish to centralize governmental functions and those who seek to decentralize them looms large. Esty and Geradin bring together top-notch scholars from both Europe and the United States to examine the various aspects of the debate between 'harmonization' and 'regulatory competition' across three comparative dimensions: first, across regulatory areas (environment, banking, corporate law, labor, tax and antitrust); second, across models of economic integration (from highly integrated systems, such as the United States or the European Union, to loosely integrated regimes, such as the WTO); and third, across disciplinary perspectives (law, economics, business, political science). The book provides a sharp focus on the circumstances that would yield gains from regulatory competition and to contrast those cases where heightened co-operation in standard setting or broader regulatory harmonization might increase social welfare.
