Features: The focus of the series is on the regulatory reform practices, experiences, and insights of member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Developing Countries' Regulatory Reform and Performance examines the background and process of regulatory reform in major OECD member countries, the performance of regulatory reform, the implementation of regulatory reform policies and core principles, the selection of policy instruments, regulatory impact analysis, and insights from government regulatory reforms. It provides case studies on regulatory reform and its implications, as well as public management reform and regulatory reforms in various industries, such as the British gas industry, the Italian electricity sector, the Canadian telecommunications industry, and the Japanese financial sector. For example, the study on U.S. regulatory reform focuses on the basic framework of U.S. regulatory reform, the role and functions of national institutions and policies in regulatory reform, and performance analysis of regulatory reforms in typical sectors, including the telecommunications industry, the digital economy, the information technology industry, and e-commerce.
