For when decisions are made without sufficient evidence. The Regulatory & Policy Lab is PAARS's applied research centre: comparative studies, surveys, evaluations and publications, such as books and technical articles. We work with universities and international organisations on research into regulatory innovation, governance and new technologies.
We support governments and institutions with sectoral studies, surveys, impact assessments, and reviews of global trends to support evidence-based decision-making. We also collaborate with universities and international organisations in the production of specialised publications and research projects on regulatory innovation, governance, and new technologies.
We conduct custom research to address specific policy challenges and generate practical insights for decision-makers.
We help governments collect and analyse structured data on regulatory performance, stakeholder perceptions, and areas for improvement.
Governments and institutions do not regulate in isolation. We compare regulatory approaches across countries to help governments adopt best practices adapted to their local context.
We partner with scholars, universities, think tanks, and international organisations to contribute to the academic and policy knowledge base.
