In *Regulation*, many of the nation’s top economists, law professors, and other policy experts offer easy-to-understand guidance and insights on microeconomics and regulatory policy affecting every American’s life. For five decades, this quarterly journal has examined nearly every market, from agriculture to health and transportation, and nearly every government intervention, from interstate commerce to labor law and price controls. The journal is **expansive**—covering the effects of policy on everything from the Internet to professional sports and everything in between—and **precise**—each article is anchored in microeconomic or statistical analysis. *Regulation* guarantees the careful, in-depth analysis you need to stay on top of regulatory and economic policymaking in Washington, D.C. #### Distinguished History Published since 1977, *Regulation* was started by the American Enterprise Institute and acquired by the Cato Institute in 1989. Past editors include such esteemed policy thinkers as Murray Weidenbaum and Antonin Scalia; Walter Olson and Peter Huber; Anne Brunsdale and Robert Bork; Christopher C. DeMuth and William A. Niskanen. Peter Van Doren, a former professor at Princeton and Yale, has edited the magazine since 1999. Read William A. Niskanen’s [retrospective](https://object.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/serials/files/regulation/2002/7/v25n2-2.pdf) on the 25th anniversary of *Regulation*. #### Editorial Excellence Although *Regulation*’s articles are written by prominent economists, political scientists, and law professors, they are always clear and accessible to the interested policymaker or lay reader. Professors often find them useful in upper-division and graduate classes for providing a solid review of business and government. #### Important Topics Telecommunications and the FCC Environment and the EPA Medicine and Pharmaceuticals Housing and Urban Development Energy Policy Transportation Financial Services and Banking Antitrust Litigation Risk Assessment ### *Regulation* Staff and Editorial Board #### Management Staff Editor: [Peter Van Doren](/people/vandoren.html), Cato Institute Managing Editor: [Thomas A.
