However, the desire to support small businesses can come into conflict with the interest in addressing the concerns that led to the regulation or policy in the first place. Moreover, it is often unclear whether special regulatory treatment for small businesses is having the intended effect. 606 $aSmall business$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aSmall business$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 615 0$aSmall business$xGovernment policy 615 0$aSmall business$xLaw and legislation 676 $a338.6/420973 701 $aGates$b Susan M.$f1968-$0935292 701 $aLeuschner$b Kristin$0935293 712 02$aKauffman-RAND Institute for Entrepreneurship Public Policy. 712 02$aEwing Marion Kauffman Foundation. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220131403321 996 $aIn the name of entrepreneurship$92106471 997 $aUNINA
