ABSTRACT

This study tries to assess the actual quality of the RIA in Korea The literature is limited to largely analytic methodology or institutional perspective of RIA but lacks the comprehensive and systemic perspective for the evaluation of actual RIA statements. By integrating the RIA guidelines of major RIA-advanced countries, such as UK, USA, and Canada and of OECD, this paper develops a logical framework for the evaluation of actual RIA statements. Based on such evaluation frameworks, available all RIA statements written by almost all ministries of the Korean government from April, 2001 to December, 2006 are analyzed. Main results are as follows. The general quality of the Korean RIA is too low and it has shown little room for improvement. In particular, “the necessity of government intervention” and “consultation” are relatively well described, while the core factors of RIA such as “justification for government involvement”, “applying the appropriate discount rate” and “compliance & enforcement” have not properly described nor analyzed. And “the identification and measurement of cost and benefit” has shown no progress in its analytic quality.
