The goal of regulation is to ensure fair competition, protect consumers and the environment, and maintain order and stability in markets. This field encompasses a wide range of topics, such as economic regulation, environmental regulation, healthcare regulation, and financial regulation. Researchers in this area may study the impact of regulations on businesses and consumers, analyze the effectiveness of regulatory policies, and propose reforms to improve regulatory systems. Regulatory research is often interdisciplinary, drawing on insights from economics, law, political science, and other fields to inform policy decisions and promote the public interest.
