Prof. Emeritus Brennan discusses help for "losers" of BCA

In the article, Dr. Brennan discusses how regulatory policies with net-benefits for the public can still negatively impact some populations. When policymakers use Benefit-Cost Analysis to evaluate regulation, they determine if the benefits outweigh the costs, naturally resulting in some who benefit more than others, and some who don't benefit at all. Dr. Brennan suggests that regulators should compensate those communities that bear the largest burden of the regulation.
