Information-based regulation has emerged as an alternative way to regulate firms compared with more traditional direct command-and-control and market-based policy instruments within the contemporary regulatory state. Despite growing international interest, challenges remain in understanding the roles for regulators in information-based regulation, the functions of regulators in shaping and leveraging information flows, and the administrative capacities required to fulfil them. Based on a systematic review methodology, this article synthesises the findings of 130 peer-reviewed articles in the environmental, energy and food policy areas. It develops a typology of functions for regulators and outlines the new administrative capacities required in the contemporary regulatory state, particularly in standard setting, assurance and intermediation, and smart data management. – Reproduced Administrative capacity, Information-based regulation, state smart disclosure, Systematic review 19425 International Review of Administrative Sciences ADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITY AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 388625 IIPA IIPA 2020-11-24 86(2), Jun, 2020: p.203-221 AR124102 2020-11-24 AR
