Note: Data for 2015 is based on the 34 countries that were OECD members in 2014 and the European Union, which included 21 of the current 28 EU Member States. The OECD average is based on the 34 member countries at the time of the survey. Data for 2018 includes the remaining EU Member States of Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Malta and Romania. The more regulatory practices as advocated in the 2012 Recommendation a country has implemented, the higher its iREG score.Source: Indicators of Regulatory Policy and Governance Surveys 2014 and 2017, and the extension to all EU Member States, http://oe.cd/ireg.

Few EU Member States require core
elements of ex post evaluation

Only half of EU Member States provide
guidance to conduct ex post evaluation

Most ad hoc reviews are principle-based and
focused on administrative burdens

Behavioural insights and evaluation
• Lessons derived from the behavioural and social sciences, including decision making, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, organisational and group behaviour, which are being applied by public bodies with the aim of making public policies work better
• Often involves the use of experiment and observation to identify patterns of behaviour and use these findings to inform policies and regulation
• It is about inductive approach to policy-making

Percentage of respondents using this mechanism
• Use of new technologies for evaluation (bigdata, smart data, machine learning, AI, crowdsourcing….)
• Connecting ex-ante and ex-post evaluation
• Moving from one time evaluation tocontinuouso monitoring?
• Use of behavioural insights
• Institutional setting, capacity and talent
• Stakeholder engagement
