경제적 규제와 사회적 규제의비차별성에 대한 연구

초록

This paper aims at showing and somehow verifying the assertion that there is no significant distinct differences between social and economic regulations. In other words, it tries to show that under the existing classification concepts, it is not possible to analytically figure out substantial peculiarities of social regulation, comparing economic regulation. The introduction of such isomorphism seems to be quite important and urgent, considering the traditional economic-social regulation dualism extends a long shadow into the theory and policy practice of regulatory reform policy in general. The analysis is based on the viewpoint of J. Stigler which emphasizes the true nature of the regulation with the focus on the actual consequences not the stated purpose of regulations. As a result of the analysis, this paper could show that there are no particular differences between social and economic regulations in terms of their (actual not stated) goals, general characteristics of targets, the interest relations of the regulated group, and some specific characteristics of target industries and regulator network. Therefore, we must be aware of the possibilities of mistakes made by researches and practical policy suggestions derived on the basis of the dualism of social-economic regulations.
