Round Table 2 - Tuesday New Ideas for Risk Regulation 1:30 - 3:30 PM

Organized by: Lisa Robinson In June of 2009, the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) and Resources for the Future (RFF) sponsored a major conference on "New Ideas for Risk Regulation" (see: http://sra.org/events_2009_risk_regulation_conf.php). The goal of the conference was to inform efforts to improve regulatory development and analysis under the new Administration by fostering creative thinking on related issues. It focused on the regulation of environmental, health, safety, and security risks, and considered the national and international role of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget in regulatory review and assessment. It brought together speakers from diverse backgrounds, including current and former senior government officials as well as leading scholars with expertise on a wide array of related issues. This roundtable assembles several key participants from that conference to reflect on its conclusions and on the implications of succeeding events -- including potential changes in the requirements for regulatory analysis and review. Participants include: Alberto Alemanno (HEC Paris) John D. Graham (Indiana University) James K. Hammitt (Harvard University) Sandra Hoffmann (Resources for the Future) Dominic J. Mancini (U.S. Office of Management and Budget) Lisa A. Robinson (Independent Consultant) Jonathan Wiener (Duke University)
