Event Details
Pietro Nivola, an author of Comparative Disadvantages? Social Regulations and the Global Economy, discusses American economic regulations that hinder the American economy. Nivola argues that numerous self-imposed regulations need to be reconsidered as they neither protect American consumers nor improve America?s ability to export competitively. During the questioning session he examines the difficulties with calculating productivity ratings, civil litigation in America and its role in handicapping innovation, the role of the American political system in excessive regulation, the trade deficit, and possible reforms to the current system of regulations.
