Title: | Assessing the quality of European Impact Assessments | Authors: | DANCIU, Diana MARTENS, Laura MARNEFFE, Wim |
Issue Date: | 2024 | Publisher: | CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS | Source: | European Journal of Risk Regulation, | Status: | Early view | Abstract: | This paper explores the possibility of developing a framework to assess the quality of Impact Assessments (IAs) by examining the common elements found in the existent academic literature around this concept, the stocktaking exercises carried out by the European institutions and the opinions of the Regulatory Scrutiny Board. At this intersection, we find that diversity in the interpretation and application of the guidelines is not only acceptable but also necessary in tailoring IAs to the needs they represent. Our findings are relevant because a universal framework that avoids focusing solely on assessing quality not only will provide much-needed coherence in this field but will also raise awareness about the normality of variability in the application of any European Union guidelines, thus reflecting the inherent nature of the IAs. | Notes: | Marneffe, W (corresponding author), Hasselt Univ, Fac Business Econ, Res Grp Policy Management, Hasselt, Belgium. wim.marneffe@uhasselt.be |
