Using newly assembled data on regulation in several sectors of many OECD countries, we provide substantial and robust evidence that various measures of regulation in the product market, concerning in particular entry barriers, are negatively related to investment. The implications of our analysis are clear: regulatory reforms, especially those that liberalize entry, are very likely to spur investment. 606 $aIndustrial laws and legislation 615 0$aIndustrial laws and legislation. 676 $a343.07 700 $aAlesina$b Alberto$0120423 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aDOCUMENT 912 $a9910137625303321 996 $aRegulation and Investment$93019416 997 $aUNINA
