Management of the Administrative State via ACUS

We often use the term “Management” of the administrative state to emphasize a difference with the term the “Operation” of the administrative state. We have not been as articulate in defining “Management” of the administrative state as we have been in defining the “Operation” of the administrative state.

By the operation of the administrative state we mean the central work products of two dominate professions; the work of the economic profession to improve the accuracy of benefit-cost analyses and the work of the legal profession to improve the judicial review of final agency actions.
