Regulation in Numbers is an institutional project of FGV Rio Law, which aims to develop empirical studies on federal regulatory agencies. Its main missions are: (i) to produce and disseminate knowledge about the country's regulatory activity; (ii) to contribute to the improvement of the national regulatory environment; and (iii) to promote good regulatory practices. The project brings together empirical research, mainly of a quantitative nature, on (i) participation mechanisms (hearings and public consultations) of federal regulatory agencies, (ii) regulatory production of regulatory bodies, (iii) political/legislative control over regulatory agencies, and (iv) external control over regulatory agencies.
