Regulatory Capture Assessment

Regulatory capture occurs when a regulatory agency advances the interests of the industry it is meant to oversee. The indicators below track evidence of capture for this agency. According to the academic literature (Stigler 1971, Carpenter & Moss 2013), captured agencies exhibit declining enforcement, revolving door personnel pipelines, and rule-making that favors incumbents over public interest.
