<p>Economic Regulation and Its Reform What Have We Learned</p><p>National Bureau of Economic Research Project on Regulatory Reform<br/>Edited by Nancy L. Rose<br/>MIT and NBER<br/>The research in this volume was part of a National Bureau of Economic Research project<br/>on “Economic Regulation and Its Reform” that culminated in a September 2005 conference<br/>at the NBER in Cambridge, MA. The conference brought together more than two dozen<br/>researchers for two days of presentations and discussion; chapters in this volume evidence<br/>the results of that collaboration. We are especially grateful to the conference discussants,<br/>whose efforts contributed substantially to the proceedings and the quality of the final<br/>papers: Ernst Berndt, Tim Bresnahan, Steven Berry, Charles Calomiris, Tasneem Chipty,<br/>Joseph Farrell, Jonathan Macey, Erin Mansur, David Sappington, and Catherine Wolfram.<br/>The project participants greatly appreciate Martin Feldstein’s interest in and encouragement<br/>of the project, and gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the NBER.</p><br/>
