Cost-Benefit Analysis -- Fall 2017 -- Spring 2018

Week 1 - September 7th - Cost Benefit Analysis and the Law

Assignment:  Please read Part 1 of the CFPB case study and the Business Roundtable decision appended thereto.   Then take a quick read over Part 2 and 3a of the case study, ignoring the specific regulations mentioned in part 2. 

To what extent is the CFPB required to undertake cost benefit analysis in light of the Business Roundtable decision?   You should also read over the first chapter of the Boardman text.  While you need not prepare answers to the problems at the back of this chapter, you should look them over and consider the complexities the questions raise.
