| Summary: | The objective of this report is twofold:
to provide a comprehensive assessment of the state of
regulatory governance in infrastructure industries in Brazil
and to suggest possible indicators for future monitoring.
After the introduction, Section 2 sets up the analytical
framework for the report, identifying key components of
regulatory governance, namely, autonomy (political and
financial), procedures for decision making, instruments
(including personnel), and accountability. Section 3
assesses each of these components in practice, reporting the
results of a survey with 21 regulatory agencies in Brazil,
which was designed and implemented by the research team in
2005. Section 4 measures regulatory governance based on
three related indexes, ranks the Brazilian regulators among
themselves, and compares the proposed indexes with two other
indicators available in the literature. Section 5 presents
the conclusions. |
