Job Loss and the Incohernet Expansion of Cost-Benefit Analysis
ExpressO (2012)
  • David M Driesen
Abstract
This piece discusses the question of whether regulatory agencies should quantify job loss stemming from government regulation for purposes of cost-benefit analysis. It argues that doing so produces biased analysis through double counting of regulatory costs and asymmetric analysis. It also argues that the dollar value of job loss defies quantification.
