Economic and development policy/planning

During 2013, Mexico implemented the Project SEC0212A financed by APEC, which had the objective to develop a Guide to evaluate the impact of regulation with the experiences of APEC economies. The "Regulatory Impact Evaluation Guide, Vol. I. Methods and Methodologies, and Vol. II. Case Studies" was issued as a deliverable. Now, this new project will be a continuation of the last one, and Mexico will develop and implement a formal training program based on information contained in the Guide for public sector servants of APEC economies, through two workshops: in the first workshop (in Mexico City, on June, 2015), experts in social regulation will share their knowledge and experiences in the use of methods like Cost-Benefit Analysis; Risk-Based Regulation Approach and Methodologies like Contingent Valuation Method, Value of Statistical Life, among others, with officials from APEC economies. In the second workshop (in Philippines as APEC host economy of SOM, on August, 2015), experts in economic regulation will share their knowledge and experiences in the use of methods like Cost-Benefit Analysis; and Methodologies like Compensating variation, Herfindahl index, among others. The project has as a deliverable an Experts` directory on Methods and Methodologies for Regulatory Impact Evaluation, and sharing the final agendas of the workshops, as a basic course Syllabus on these topics.
