Paying particular attention to public choice perspectives, Professor Dills will present various theories on how regulation is conceived and birthed. Noting that legislative and bureaucratic actors, much like market actors, are self-interested, she will highlight the Baptist and Bootleggers theory of regulation first posited by Clemson University Emeritus Professor Bruce Yandle. The talk provides a bevy of entertaining and outrageous examples of government regulation run amok.
