摘要

本文调查了2013年至2022年182个国家移动宽带价格差异的原因。我们的分析考察了三组变量之间的相互作用：政策框架、市场条件和定价机制。我们的研究结果表明，各国应在许可、基础设施共享、频谱灵活性和竞争方面采取先进的监管做法，以降低移动宽带价格。此外，需要适度的税收来刺激投资，扩大覆盖面，促进竞争，从而降低价格。减少运营商的运营费用也可以起到至关重要的作用。

Drivers of mobile broadband pricing: Cross-national evidence on policy and market dynamics

This paper investigates the reasons underlying the diversity in mobile broadband prices across 182 countries from 2013 to 2022. Our analysis examines the interplay among three groups of variables: policy frameworks, market conditions, and pricing mechanisms. Our results suggest that countries should adopt advanced regulatory practices regarding licensing, infrastructure sharing, spectrum flexibility, and competition to lower mobile broadband prices. In addition, moderate taxation is required to stimulate investment, expand coverage, and promote competition, thereby lowering prices. Reduction of operators’ operating expenses can also play a crucial role.

期刊介绍： Utilities Policy is deliberately international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral. Articles address utility trends and issues in both developed and developing economies. Authors and reviewers come from various disciplines, including economics, political science, sociology, law, finance, accounting, management, and engineering. Areas of focus include the utility and network industries providing essential electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater, solid waste, communications, broadband, postal, and public transportation services. Utilities Policy invites submissions that apply various quantitative and qualitative methods. Contributions are welcome from both established and emerging scholars as well as accomplished practitioners. Interdisciplinary, comparative, and applied works are encouraged. Submissions to the journal should have a clear focus on governance, performance, and/or analysis of public utilities with an aim toward informing the policymaking process and providing recommendations as appropriate. Relevant topics and issues include but are not limited to industry structures and ownership, market design and dynamics, economic development, resource planning, system modeling, accounting and finance, infrastructure investment, supply and demand efficiency, strategic management and productivity, network operations and integration, supply chains, adaptation and flexibility, service-quality standards, benchmarking and metrics, benefit-cost analysis, behavior and incentives, pricing and demand response, economic and environmental regulation, regulatory performance and impact, restructuring and deregulation, and policy institutions.
