What is Regulatory Capture With Examples

Regulatory capture refers to a situation where regulatory agencies, which are supposed to act in the public interest by overseeing and regulating industries, end up being heavily influenced or controlled by the entities they are meant to regulate. In other words, regulatory capture occurs when the regulatory agency becomes captured or "captured" by the industry it is meant to oversee, resulting in the agency acting in the interests of the industry rather than in the broader public interest.
