When and why did administrative agencies start doing cost-benefit analysis? Professor Susan Dudley maps out the history of executive orders that imposed this procedure.

Susan Dudley is director of the George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center and distinguished professor of practice in the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration.
