Legislators pursuing a specific regulatory goal have a whole toolbox of regulatory instruments at their disposal. So far, little research has been done on the relative advantages and disadvantages of these different regulatory instruments or on their actual consequences. The effects of regulatory instruments can be roughly divided into the categories of effectiveness, side effects and costs. The conference focused on the effectiveness of one or more regulatory instruments.
