Regulation and taxation shape the conditions under which firms operate, influencing market entry, exit, and incentives to invest and grow. At the same time, they affect broader industry dynamics. CEFAU analyzes both the consequences and opportunities of policy interventions and provides evidence on how regulation can support a productive and well-functioning business sector.
