Abstract

The Federal financial regulators who are entrusted with implementing Dodd-Frank and other key financial regulatory initiatives do not routinely conduct economic analysis. This paper looks at the statutory obligations that Federal financial regulators face and the degree to which they useeconomic analysis in their decision-making. The paper also looks at quasi-governmental regulatory organizations, which — like their governmental counterparts — do not routinely conduct economic analysis.

Keywords: Dodd-Frank, economic analysis
