About
The Rethinking Regulation Program at the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University is hosting a discussion on crisis events and how they can reshape regulation. The session will highlight the insights from a new book on this topic, edited by Duke faculty Edward Balleisen, Lori Bennear, Kimberly Krawiec, and Jonathan Wiener, "Policy Shock: Recalibrating Risk and Regulation After Oil Spills, Nuclear Accidents, and Financial Crises." The book looks at responses to these events in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, and assesses how laws, regulations, and institutions responded - and how they could learn to do better.
Panelists include:
- Lori S. Bennear, Juli Plant Grainger Associate Professor of Energy Economics and Policy at the Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke University; Associate Director for Educational Programs, Duke University Energy Initiative; Co-Director, Rethinking Regulation
- Sarah Bloom Raskin, Rubenstein Fellow, Duke University; former Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, former Governor of the Federal Reserve
