Industry self-regulation: An institutional perspective
Open accessAbstract
Throughout the advanced countries of the world self‐regulatory regimes are being introduced. This article suggests that, at least in some contexts, industry self‐regulation can be an effective and efficient means of social control that has been largely ignored by economics (which has a focus on individual rather than group behavior) and prematurely discounted by mainstream regulatory theory. The article examines the strengths and to a lesser extent the weaknesses of industry self‐regulation from five closely related yet distinct vantage points: mediating institutions; industrial morality; institutionalizing responsibility; institutions responding to external pressure; and the roles of the state and third parties.

“Contrary to conventional wisdom, the most effective mechanism for maintaining market ``order'' and curbing trading abuses has proved to be informal mechanisms of social control rather than state regulation.”

“Among the most important internal hurdles are first, the extent to which it is possible to build an industry morality: a set of industrial principles and practices that defines right conduct and spells out the industry's public commitment to moral restraint and aspiration; and second, the extent to which a particular scheme is capable of institutionalizing responsibility.”

“As to external hurdles, self-regulation is most likely to flourish when there is either strong coincidence between the public and private interest in self-regulation or there are external pressures sufficient to create such a coincidence of interest.”

EXTERNAL PRESSURES AND EFFECTIVE SELF-REGULATION
“Sometimes, the mere threat of government regulation may provide an industry group with sufficient incentive to regulate itself effectively, as with the case of ozone protection in New Zealand, considered below.”
§ Blackwell Publishers Ltd. 1997 its weaknesses as a stand alone mechanism?This implies an underpinning of state intervention sufficient to ensure that it does operate in the public interest, that it is effective in achieving its purported social and economic goals and has credibility in the eyes of the public or its intended audience.As we have indicated, precisely what form of state intervention will provide the most appropriate underpinning is likely to vary with the particular circumstances of the case.Unfortunately, there are no magic bullets or universally appropriate prescriptions.However, it is at least possible to identify some of the most commonly important variables, and to illustrate by example how co-regulation might operate to optimal effect in particular circumstances.
“This has been the case in New Zealand in the case of greenhouse emissions.If New Zealand's net emissions are not on track for a 3 to 4 percent reduction by 1997, then the government has committed itself to introducing a carbon tax.Thus, if the code is effective, then the regulation is never invoked.A similar approach operates in Australia, in the case of the regulation of ozone-depleting substances.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
