For det første er det vigtigt, netop fordi de liberale erhverv har en central indflydelse på andre sektorers konkurrenceevne, at overveje de økonomiske konsekvenser, som en regulering kan have på produktion, effektivitet, prisniveauer og beskæftigelse. For det andet er det, som spørgerne antyder, vigtigt at tage højde for de ikke-økonomiske aspekter og tilsvarende nøje at vurdere berettigelsen af forskellige typer af regulering.
This exercise takes two aspects into account: firstly, precisely because the liberal professions have a key impact on the competitiveness of other sectors, it is important to consider the economic consequences that regulation may have on production and on efficiency, price levels and employment; secondly, as the authors of the question have implied, it is vital to take into account non-economic aspects and accordingly to accurately assess the justification for various types of regulation.
