Stigler's theories prominently include the study of which of these?

  • Regulatory capture

  • Quantum fluctuations

  • Black holes

  • Genetic mutations

Answer

Regulatory capture, a key concept in Stigler's theories, describes the phenomenon where regulatory agencies, originally formed to protect public interest, end up being influenced or controlled by the industries they are supposed to regulate. This dynamic can lead to regulations that favor the interests of the industry rather than the public, potentially compromising the effectiveness and fairness of regulatory frameworks.
