Institutions and Incentives in Regulatory Science is essential
reading for people interested in how institutions affect regulatory
agencies’ abilities to make decisions based on objective
interpretations of scientific evidence of risks to health, safety
or the environment.
*Randall Lutter, Resources for the Future*
A powerful and disturbing account of the biases and uncertainties
in regulatory science. Fortunately, the authors offer promising
reforms to buttress the integrity of science in the midst of the
politics of rulemaking.
*John D. Graham, Dean, School of Public and Environmental Affairs,
Indiana University*
Provocative and timely, Institutions and Incentives in Regulatory
Science raises crucial questions for anyone interested in science
and public policy. In the abstract, everyone agrees that legitimate
policy making depends on both credible science as well as on
political and moral judgment. But in practice, as the cases in this
book engagingly show, the challenge lies in discerning the
appropriate roles for science and politics—and then keeping each in
their respective places. Few challenges are more central to
contemporary regulatory policy over matters as varied as climate
change, biodiversity, and toxic pollution.
*Cary Coglianese, University of Pennsylvania*
