The Reagan administration, which served from 1981 to 1989, emphasized the importance of reducing government regulations and implemented a policy of using cost-benefit analysis to evaluate regulations. The Bush administration, which served from 2001 to 2009, also adopted a similar approach and continued to prioritize the use of cost-benefit analysis in regulatory decision-making. Clinton and Obama both sought to increase social and environmental regulation, while Ford and Kennedy did not prioritize cost-benefit analysis in regulatory decision-making. The Carter administration did use cost-benefit analysis but not to the same extent as Reagan and Bush.
