Regulatory impact assessment tools and techniques

Description

Welcome to the Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) Tools and Techniques course, designed to empower policymakers, regulators and policy enthusiasts with the knowledge and quantitative tools necessary to analyse the impact of regulatory decisions on various stakeholders.

The course is hosted by Genesis Analytics, a leading economics consultancy, and is taught by experienced consultants Kim Adonis and Emma Green who have conducted a number of regulatory impact assessments for governments and business associations.

Our course is structured into four modules, each comprising video-based lectures and a quiz to reinforce your learning. The modules cover:

1. An introduction to RIAs, including what they are, when they should be performed and by whom, what a typical RIA report includes, and what the benefits and limitations are of using a RIA;

2. The history of RIAs and important lessons from RIAs across the world;

3. Quantitative methodologies for measuring economic impact, including cost-benefit analysis (CBA), social account matrix (SAM) modelling, and computable general equilibrium (CGE) modelling; and

4. A helpful RIA case study about proposed amendments to liquor regulations to put theory into practice.

The training is suitable for anyone interested in building their regulatory impact assessment expertise, and no prior experience or quantitative analysis skills are required.
