摘要

1866年《邮路法案》颁布后,美国联邦政府抢先制定了反竞争的州和市电报法规。该法案实际上授予了在美国任何地方建立和运营电报系统的全国特许经营权,允许任何州内组织的任何电报公司。该法案还禁止了某些类型的合同,这些合同禁止其他公司获得电报通行权。竞争对手利用当地进入壁垒的解除进入电报市场,与西联电报公司竞争。我提出了第一个经验证据,表明1866年后的美国电报市场存在竞争。证据与1866年邮政道路法案有助于增加争议和消费者福利的理论是一致的。

Federal Preemption and Competition in the Post 1866 United States Telegraph Market
The United States federal government preempted anti-competitive state and municipal telegraph regulations when the 1866 Post Roads Act was enacted. The act granted a de facto national franchise to build and operate a telegraph system anywhere in the United States to any telegraph company organized within any state. The act also outlawed certain types of contracts that had prohibited other companies from acquiring telegraph right of way access. Rival companies took advantage of the dismantling of local entry barriers to enter the telegraph market and compete with Western Union. I present the first empirical evidence indicating the post-1866 United States telegraph market was contested. The evidence is consistent with the theory that the 1866 Post Roads Act contributed to increasing contestability and consumer welfare.
