요약	Regulatory impact analysis (RIA) is a systematic process for appraising the likely costs, benefits and effects of proposed regulation before it is adopted. Promoted by the OECD as a cornerstone of good regulatory governance, it requires governments to define the problem a regulation is meant to solve, set out alternative options including non-regulatory ones, assess the impacts of each against a do-nothing baseline, consult affected parties, and recommend the option that delivers the greatest net benefit. RIA aims to ensure that new rules are evidence-based, proportionate and justified rather than imposed without examination of their consequences.	Benefit-cost analysis (BCA), also called cost-benefit analysis, is a systematic appraisal that values all the material consequences of a policy in money, discounts them to present value, and recommends the option with the greatest net social benefit. Grounded in welfare economics and the compensation principle, it asks whether the gains to those who benefit exceed the losses to those who bear the costs across society as a whole. Set out comprehensively in Boardman, Greenberg, Vining and Weimer's standard textbook and operationalised by government guidance such as the UK Treasury's Green Book, BCA is the principal efficiency test applied to public investments and regulations.
