The Regulatory Policy Institute (RPI) is an independent, charitable organisation dedicated to the study of regulation and deregulation.
Publications

There are a number of channels through which the work and views of Institute members and supporters are made available to a wider audience:

Essays and Studies in Regulation

To mark the 21st year of activity, the RPI launched the new series of Essays and Studies in Regulation. As before, Studies in Regulation are more technical papers focused upon particular policy issues, problems or questions, and are akin to a rolling, on-line journal. Inclusion of papers in the series is subject to a standard editorial process.

Essays in Regulation are more varied. They may deal with larger or smaller policy themes and issues, and be of varying lengths from about 2,000 words upwards. The one requirement is that they be written in plain English. As with Studies, there is an editorial process, but with relatively more weight placed on insight and lucidity than on technical merit.

Details of the new series are available here.

Authors making use of work already published in the Studies and Essays series are asked to make citations in the journal form:Authors (Year), Title, Studies/Essays in Regulation, Oxford: Regulatory Policy Institute (www.rpi.org.uk)

Other material can be simply cited in the form: Author (Year), Title, Regulatory Policy Institute (www.rpieurope.org)

Letters and Notes on Regulation

Another new publication series launched in 2011 is Letters and Notes on Regulation, short pieces of work devoted to specific or relatively narrow points concerning regulatory policies.

Policy studies and reports

This section of publications contains Institute contributions to specific regulatory policy issues of the day, many of which have been specifically commissioned.
