A game-theoretical model for conducting a public discussion of the legal regulation of entrepreneurship
Abstract
In the Russian practice of state regulation, institutions of involving economic agents in assessing the effectiveness of policies, analyzing and adjusting the regulatory environment are taking root. However, low efficiency of such tools for the purpose of reducing administrative costs and weak involvement of stakeholders in public management processes are noted. This actualizes the need to model public discussion procedures with the development of approaches to improving communications between government and business. The purpose of the article is to build a model of public consultations that provides the ability to adjust individual parameters in the practice of public administration to improve the efficiency of assessing the regulatory impact as an institution for making collective management decisions. The key research methods are institutional analysis, game-theoretic approach, and sociological survey. The features of domestic institutions for making collective decisions in public administration are analyzed. Based on game theory, a model of public consultations on draft legal acts with the civil community is built. In the game matrix, gains are presented as the difference between direct benefits and costs, taking into account lost opportunities for two players – the state and the entrepreneur (association). A condition has been found under which partnership relations are an equilibrium in dominant strategies for both parties. The results are supplemented by data from a survey of civil servants and entrepreneurs regarding their ideas about the institution of assessing legal acts. The author's developments provide the possibility of adjusting individual parameters in public administration practice to improve the effectiveness of assessing regulatory impact as an institution for making collective management decisions.
