Summary/Abstract: Regulatory impact assessment (RIA) is an analytical tool to assess costs,consequences, and side effects of a planned policy instruments (enactment of laws, regulations, etc.). It can also be deployed to evaluate real costs and consequences of policy instruments upon their implementation. In either case, the outcomes are being used to improve the quality of policy decisions and policy instruments (laws, regulations, public investments etc). Basically,it is a mean to inform government choices: choices about policy instruments,about the very design of a specific policy instrument, or about the need to amend or cease the implementation of an existing instrument.The time and resources to be put into RIA depend on the importance of the policy instrument as such. The important policy instrument that are expected to have huge effect upon the state and society would require sophisticated RIA, for a thorough RIA certainly calls for specialized expertise,adequate time-frame and sufficient resources. On the other side, RIA for a less important policy instrument can be performed by lower level civil servants,even if they had not been through a comprehensive training in both quantitative and qualitative assessment techniques.The paper gives definition of RIA, its application as well as some of its methods and techniques.
