This grant supports Sanjay Patnaik, director at the Brookings Center on Regulation and Markets (CRM), which promotes independent, unbiased, and non-partisan research on regulatory economics. Grant funds will allow CRM to conduct research on topics including artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, financial market regulation and fintech, and consumer protection and antitrust in the digital age. Through its research, CRM seeks to explore how novel technologies can best be regulated without stifling innovation; how the regulatory process could be adapted to quickly respond to changing market conditions; and how regulation can deal with new approaches to data privacy. In addition to producing high-quality and policy-relevant research on regulatory economics, CRM will disseminate this work through academic papers, policy briefs, and events that connect researchers with practitioners.
