Although the influence of regulations on economic outcomes has been well documented, few studies have focused on the geography of regulatory burdens. The regulations confronting any supply chain can vary dramatically across legislative jurisdictions, as U.S. policy is enforced by overlapping federal, state, and local governments. We use a unique data set to explore state-by-state regulatory variation in U.S. beer supply chains in 2020. We find that the state-level rules targeted at the beer supply chain vary between 1,177 and 25,399, with the average state implementing 10,212 formal regulatory restrictions.

获得啤酒需要多少规定？啤酒法规的地理分布

尽管监管对经济结果的影响已得到充分证明，但很少有研究关注监管负担的地理分布。由于美国政策由重叠的联邦、州和地方政府执行，因此任何供应链面临的法规在不同的立法管辖区可能会有很大差异。我们使用独特的数据集来探索 2020 年美国啤酒供应链的各州监管变化。我们发现针对啤酒供应链的州级规则在 1,177 到 25,399 之间变化，平均每个州实施 10,212 正式监管限制。
