NEW DIRECTIONS IN REGULATION

The New Directions in Regulation seminar series, organized and hosted by the Regulatory Policy Program, represents the preeminent forum in the country for engaging scholars and practitioners in an exploration of emerging trends in regulation. Since 1998, we have held more than 100 seminars, led by leading scholars from Harvard and around the world. The typical seminar brings together a diverse audience of thirty to forty participants from academia, business, and government. Many papers presented in the seminar are available in our working paper series. This seminar series is currently co-sponsored by the Kennedy School's Environment and Natural Resources Program.
