Communication service in India has a strong and healthy competition and this is the service which will continue to rise in future as well as this service has brought the world so close that now you can contact anyone within seconds without paying high charges unlike the scenario which was present before liberalization that if you want to contact someone who have to wait for long hours and the price of communication at that time was very high. After liberalization there has been increase in the number of telecom service providers after liberalization and a lot of reforms have also taken place. The reforms have proven to be beneficial for the consumers as it has increased the competition. The competitive environment has led to conflict between service providers which includes predatory pricing. In order to make sure fair competition in this sector both the TRAI and CCI should work jointly with each other. The Competition Commission should focus that competition prevails in general and also look and bring measures to curb the anti competitive practices in various sectors of the market. In the telecommunication sector there have been cases where the cases of cartelization. The long distance segment of telecommunication was professed of cartel formations by the ministers of the telecommunication in the year 2005. Anti competitive agreements and abuse of dominant position are the major distress for the commission. A practice is adopted by countries where a regulator is appointed and the regulation of the regulator are similar to that of the competition commission. Regulation in telecom sector is in the hands of TRAI and DoT and the fact is that it is not known that how much attention is given to the competition however sec 11 of the TRAI Act talk about promoting fair competition. The annual reports, visions, consultation paper, recommendation talks about protecting the interest of the consumer and growth in this sector but it fails to talk about the competition practices. Section 18 of the Competition Act 2002 entrusts a duty on the commission to encourage fair competition and protecting the interest of participants. Competition Commission of India control and curb the illegal practices or the anti competitive practices on the other promote competition and protect the interest of the consumers. Section 11 of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Act, 1997 talks about the objectives. The objective of the TRAI Act is to promote the telecom industry by ensuring competition and optimum utilization of the telecommunication services. The two statues talk about the same objective i.e. fair competition, protection of the interest of the participants and the consumers and building up an environment which promotes healthy competition.

We find support for hypotheses emphasizing electoral opportunism and the politics of interest group (organized labor, agricultural interests).

Essentially, the reform is aimed at equalizing the domestic and world prices of oil (less transport costs): the reduced rates of export duties and excise taxes on petroleum products will be offset by the correspondingly increased rate of the mineral extraction tax (MET) (the revenues generated by the new MET are expected to be approximately twice as high as the lost amount of export duty). As a result of the tax maneuver, the subsidizing of the domestic oil-refining sector, which is producing negative value added in terms of world prices, should be scaled down. When the domestic and world prices of oil and petroleum products become equal, the prices of the latter will soar in the domestic market, if excise taxes are not reduced by way of compensation. However, the excise taxes on petroleum products are continually being raised, and this may forestall the implementation of the entire reform in the nearest future.","PeriodicalId":415834,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Comparative Case Studies of Industrial Policies & Regulatory Experiences in Emerging Markets (Topic)","volume":"251 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133583661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

GVC에 성공적으로 진입한 대만과 한국 중소기업의 사례를 종합해보면 몇가지 시사점을 발견할 수 있다. 첫째, 다국적기업에 부품을 납품하거나 OEM, ODM으로 해외 주문을 수주하는 등 다양한 GVC 진입 방법이 있으나, 이런 글로벌화의 성공을 위해서는 중소기업 자체의 기술력이 바탕이 되어야 한다는 것이다. 또 이를 위해서는 RD both suffer from relatively small domestic markets and limited positions in the respective markets.Therefore, the survival of SMEs in both Korea and Taiwan-which take up the largest portion in both economies-depends on their capacity for increased overseas expansion. In today’s world where the production cycle of companies is becoming increasingly internationalized, the SMEs’ overseas expansion through participation in the global value chains (GVCs) becomes all the more important.Due to the economic recession, the direct exports of SMEs in proportion to the total direct exports are decreasing in both economies. But the complex production cycle of companies indicates that this does not necessarily point to a decrease in SMEs’ overseas competitiveness. This research focused on the fact that actually, many SMEs engage in indirect exporting by participating in value chains of major companies, and compared the total exports(including both the direct and indirect exports) of SMEs in Korea and Taiwan. The results showed that while the proportion of indirect exports to total exports in Taiwan SMEs has greatly increased over time, that of Korean SMEs has shown little difference.This has led the total exports of Taiwanese companies to increase while the total exports of Korean SMEs decreased. This phenomenon can be explained by two factors: the changes in the industry structures in the two countries and the changes in the participation rate of SMEs and major companies in GVCs. In the 2000s, the proportion of major companies in the Taiwanese economies grew rapidly, intensifying the relationship between major companies and SMEs, under which SMEs provided for the intermediate goods for exports to major compa","PeriodicalId":415834,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Comparative Case Studies of Industrial Policies & Regulatory Experiences in Emerging Markets (Topic)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122704307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study based on the micro-level dataset of iron and steel enterprises in the database of China’s industrial enterprises between 1998 and 2007 that investigated the intrinsic correlation among corporate entry and exit, market competition of existing enterprises, and TFP growth in the iron and steel industry. The results of the research show that the entry-exit would promote the growth of the aggregate productivity, while the low efficiency of resource allocation would significantly inhibit the TFP growth. The basic conclusion is that, with substantial government intervention in enterprise investments, marketcompetition may not promote optimal resource allocation efficiency in China’s iron and steel industry, but make the allocation less efficient.","PeriodicalId":415834,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Comparative Case Studies of Industrial Policies & Regulatory Experiences in Emerging Markets (Topic)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128259577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, using firm‐level daily stock return data, we find that the Finnish stock market generally reacts negatively to news of increased investor protection and workload, whereas news of delays in implementation of reform generate largely positive market responses.
