Abstract: The most quantitative studies deal with the costs of transparency lobbying and give little or no attention to quantifying the benefits. And when dealing with them, they focus primarily on legislative measures. The aim of the article is to determine options for lobbying transparency increase and their evaluation and comparison from the viewpoint of direct and indirect benefits. Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) is used. The five basic options are determined. One of the main conclusions is that, in addition to benefits resulting from direct legislative regulation of lobbying, it is possible to identify a large number of benefits associated primarily with non-legislative measures. These benefits are connected with increasing in the transparency of the legislative process, elimination of unfair influence of legal regulation by partial interests and destigmatization of lobbying as a legitimate profession.
