University of Pennsylvania Law School Professor Cary Coglianese and the Penn Program on Regulation were selected by the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) of Canada to lead a major, independent initiative defining and measuring regulatory excellence.
As part of the Initiative, teams of researchers produced papers on four primary dimensions of a regulator’s work: Priority Setting, Problem Solving, People (internal management), and the Public (external engagement).
Kleinman Center Research Assistant Elise Harrington was a principal researcher and co-author (with Dr. Christopher Carrigan) of the Problem Solving paper, titled “Choices in Regulatory Program Design and Enforcement.”
