ABSTRACT

This study attempted to compare countries by expanding existing regulatory or regulatory cost analysis for countries. This research was possible because there was a model of regulatory cost estimation designed by Crain (2001). As a result, countries such as Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and Norway have maintained the lowest per capita regulatory cost per capita between 2003 and 2013. In terms of efforts to improve regulation, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Mexico, Turkey, Portugal, the Czech Republic and Korea achieved higher regulatory costs than the average between 2003 and 2013, Regulation cost per capita is at the highest level, indicating that demand for regulatory improvement is high. On the other hand, in the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the per capita regulatory expenditure per capita per capita in 2003 was below average, but efforts to reduce regulatory costs were also above average. In the case of Germany, especially among those countries, the economic performance of 2003 to 2013 has improved markedly, and this shows that the effect of relatively positive regulatory improvements is also reflected. In Greece, on the other hand, regulatory cost per capita is worsening from 6th place in 2003 to 3rd place in 2013. Despite relatively unreasonable regulations, we believe it was relatively too lazy to improve regulations. For this reason, Greece still has the lowest economic performance in Europe, and many social issues have been evaluated.
