Abstract
An agent-based model is developed as an explorative tool to investigate
how the REACH regulation can help bring safer substitutes to the market.
An illustration is given with the case of bisphenol-A used in food
packaging. Themodeling exercise enables an analysis of long-termeffects
of REACH on innovation and industrial dynamics caused by misfits likely
to emerge between objective and perceived stringency of regulation as
well as misfits related to divergent perceptions between suppliers and
clients.
