Lederman, L L

The effects of Federal involvement and regulations on technological innovation is examined, and the conclusion is reached that there is more evidence of positive than negative impact. A review of the general areas of agreement is outlined for three types of cases involving both the private and public sector and is expanded into a rationale for Federal participation. Regulation of business has evolved into the area of economics and that of health, safety, and environment. Several guidelines are suggested for evaluating public policy, including consistency with economic and social policy, consistency over time, and supportive of the private sector. 13 references.
