Courts, Regulators, and the Scrutiny of Economic Evidence

In this episode of FSR Insights, we will discuss the key findings of Despoina Mantzari’s recently published book Courts, Regulators, and the Scrutiny of Economic Evidence.

The book presents the first systematic examination of economic regulation and the crucial role of economic evidence in regulatory authorities and courts.

This work brings together strands of scholarship from law, economics, and political science to explore two key themes: the influence of economic evidence on the discretionary assessments of economic regulators, and the limits of judicial review of economic evidence, supplemented with comparative examination of both UK and US systems.
