Abstract:

The paper reveals the essence of the Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) from the standpoint of the institutional approach and discusses the structure and methodological aspects of this phenomenon. On the basis of the definition proposed by the authors, characteristics of the RIA, as a special kind of institution promoting the development of social control, are examined. The authors prove that the RIA is an essential element in improving the quality of the institutional environment. It contributes to the establishment and development of social control over the quality and socio-economic consequences of the regulations adopted. The article provides a comparative analysis of the RIA practices employed in Russia and other countries that helps identify the distinctive features of the Russian assessment system. The authors point out contradictions between the real situation and the Regulatory Impact Assessment at the national level in Russia and substantiate the importance of a more active involvement of business community to improve the quality of the state regulation.
