In defense of RIA (Scott Jacobs contribution)

Scott Jacobs, a top influencer on this network and leading consultant on regulatory reform has started a discussion on the sister site, the Group Smart Regulation on LinkedIn. Noting that RIA has come under increasing skepticism from some quarters due to the lack of clear evidence that countries that implement RIA do better economically, Scott thinks that a good evaluation of RIA results - covering its governance, economic, and democratic impacts – is necessary and he is now writing a paper in defense of RIA. He has posted a first list of sources on its impacts which is well worth reading, and asks us, members of the network if we have any additional sources/anecdotes/studies from countries on the impact of RIA?
