This study provides a survey of research that uses cross-country comparisons to examine the relationship between economic regulation and growth. Studies in the peer-reviewed literature tend to rely on either World Bank or Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development measures of regulation. Those studies seem to reflect a consensus that entry regulation and anticompetitive product and labor market regulations are generally harmful to growth. The results from this cross-country research, taken in conjunction with economic theory and other country-specific studies of economic regulation, support the hypothesis that economic regulation tends to reduce welfare in competitive markets. Given the continued use of certain types of economic regulation, the findings may offer important lessons for policymakers.

经济调控对增长的影响：调查与综合

本研究提供了一项研究调查，该调查使用跨国比较来检验经济监管与增长之间的关系。同行评审文献中的研究倾向于依赖世界银行或经济合作与发展组织的监管措施。这些研究似乎反映了一种共识，即准入监管、反竞争产品和劳动力市场监管通常对增长有害。这项跨国研究的结果与经济理论和其他针对特定国家的经济监管研究相结合，支持经济监管倾向于降低竞争市场中的福利的假设。鉴于某些类型的经济监管的持续使用，这些发现可能为政策制定者提供重要的经验教训。
