The Institute for Policy Integrity and the Washington Center for Equitable Growth co-hosted this webinar aimed at economists seeking to influence federal regulatory policy—including environmental, energy, health, and consumer-rights regulation. The webinar covered topics including the structure of the U.S. government, the legal requirements of the regulatory process, and the role of economics in that process. The webinar also highlighted opportunities to engage in the regulatory process, and panelists discussed recent federal guidance calling for economic work in key policymaking areas. Presenters include Policy Integrity economists and lawyers.

The Coalition for Sensible Safeguards, Center for Progressive Reform, and Institute for Policy Integrity hosted a webinar exploring how OIRA’s new Circular A-4 Guidance can be used effectively in comments and included in final regulations. Among other issues, we discussed how new guidance on discounting —and EPA’s updated and compatible social cost of carbon valuations—can affect pending regulations. We familiarized stakeholders with these key tools for engaging in the regulatory process.
