Case Studies

NML has developed a series of Case Studies focused on helping policymakers, students, and the private sector better understand practical, real-time regulatory constraints to market innovation and illuminate pathways for system-wide change. NML’s Case Studies have covered issues ranging from implementation of trade agreements at the national level, evaluation of markets based on differing regulatory approaches, and the impact of gaps in law and regulation (and their implementation) from the perspective of women and small businesses.
