Happy Birthday, The Regulatory Review!

RegBlog celebrates two years of regulatory news, analysis, and opinion.

Today, The Regulatory Review celebrates its second anniversary!

During these past two years, The Regulatory Review has featured new content at least every business day, for a total of 625 essays addressing every range of policy issue, from financial regulation to telecommunications, and from benefit-cost analysis to open government.
We’re attracting an ever-growing audience spanning 184 different countries, and now The Regulatory Review also reaches busy professionals via its weekly newsletter and active Twitter feed.

We’ve also produced several important symposia over the last two years, including ones focused on regulatory reform in Congress, presidential politics and regulation, and a retrospective on the regulatory work of political scientist James Q. Wilson.
