About Regulation Magazine

Distinguished History

Published since 1977, Regulation was started by the American Enterprise Institute and acquired by the Cato Institute in 1989. Past editors include Murray Weidenbaum and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia; Walter Olson and Peter Huber, now both senior fellows at the Manhattan Institute; Christopher C. DeMuth, the current president of the American Enterprise Institute; and William Niskanen, chairman of the Cato Institute. Peter Van Doren-a former professor at Princeton and Yale-has edited the magazine since 1999.

Read William Niskanen's retrospective on the 25th anniversary of Regulation.

Editorial Excellence

Regulation adheres to the highest academic and design standards. Every article passes the strict scrutiny of the editors. Although articles are written by economists, political scientists, and law professors, they are always clear and accessible to the interested policymaker or lay reader. Teachers often find them useful in classrooms for providing a solid review of business and government.
