It shows how their prior formal modeling can inform on the possible need to control in the sandbox design for otherwise underestimated but predictable distributional effects. Failing to do so is likely to lead to underestimate efficiency-equity trade-offs and other distributional issues. This may influence the political sustainability of otherwise potentially welfare enhancing innovations. Simple industrial organization models will often suffice to identify the potential issues at the design stage date: 2025-02 date_type: published publisher: Routledge id_number: 10.1080/17487870.2025.2463660 official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/130349 faculty: tse divisions: tse keywords: Regulatory sandboxes keywords: innovation keywords: governance keywords: anti-trust keywords: regulation keywords: efficiency keywords: equity keywords: quality standards. language: en has_fulltext: TRUE doi: 10.1080/17487870.2025.2463660 subjectsJEL: JEL_K20 subjectsJEL: JEL_K21 subjectsJEL: JEL_K23 subjectsJEL: JEL_L12 subjectsJEL: JEL_L13 subjectsJEL: JEL_L15 subjectsJEL: JEL_L51 subjectsJEL: JEL_O31 subjectsJEL: JEL_O33 view_date_year: 2025 full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Economic Policy Reform place_of_pub: Abingdon pagerange: 1-26 refereed: TRUE issn: 1748-7870 oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:130349 harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: publisher harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub harvester_local_overwrite: hal_id harvester_local_overwrite: hal_version harvester_local_overwrite: hal_url harvester_local_overwrite: hal_passwd oai_lastmod: 2025-02-17T14:40:48Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 hal_id: hal-04953563 hal_passwd: ?syquh hal_version: 1 hal_url: https://hal.science/hal-04953563 citation: Crampes, ClaudeIdRef and Estache, AntonioIdRef (2025) Efficiency vs. distributional concerns in regulatory sandboxes.
