摘要

US presidents since Ronald Reagan have required regulatory agencies to conduct cost-benefit analyses of proposed regulations, currently governed by Office of Management and Budget Circular A-4. On its surface, requiring such analyses makes sense; after all, why burden businesses with costly regulations if there is little benefit to the public? There are, however, several problems with cost-benefit analysis, including the facts that the costs are often borne by different people than receive the benefits, the tendency of cost-benefit analysis to overstate costs and understate benefits and the pro-business bias within the economics profession. The net effect of requiring cost-benefit analyses is to make it more difficult to develop, implement and defend regulations to protect public health and the environment. These problems are clearly manifest in the cost-benefit analyses done for the proposed tobacco product regulations by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), first as part of its unsuccessful 2011 attempt to require graphic warning labels on cigarette packages and its 2013 proposal to assert jurisdiction over non-cigarette tobacco products. In both cases, the FDA grossly underestimated benefits and overstated costs.
