Smart(er) Internet Regulation Through Cost-Benefit Analysis

Smart(er) Internet Regulation is about applying better regulation principles
to the internet. The book addresses difficult-to-quantify policy objectives,
such as protection of fundamental rights and the preservation of the internet
ecosystem, and proposes a method to make trade-offs more explicit, and
regulatory solutions better fit for purpose. “...a level-headed look at the
costs and benefits that flow from internet regulation... Maxwell’s analysis of
fundamental rights is enlightening.” (Martin Cave, Imperial College Business
School, London) “...a checklist that should be used by anyone considering a
new regulation affecting internet intermediaries.” (Nicolas Curien, French
Audiovisual Regulatory Authority - CSA ) “...a must-read for students of
digital regulation.” (Maya Bacache, French Council of Economic Analysis -CAE)
“Maxwell has shown that cost-benefit analyses can bring clearer thinking to
internet regulation.” (Marc Bourreau, Telecom ParisTech)
