Networks in Decline: Should Price Regulation Be Abolished?
Abstract Some utilities such as postal services, gas and electricity are facing significant decline in demand within several of their business segments. In this context, an important matter for regulators, firms and consumers is to consider if maintaining price regulation is welfare enhancing compared with the no regulation alternative. From a model with one firm that is simultaneously monopolist in a regulated market and is in competition in a liberalized market, we conclude that welfare can be higher when price regulation is preserved.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of the Economics of Business presents original, peer reviewed research in economics that is clearly applicable to business or related public policy problems or issues. The term "business" is used in its widest sense to encompass both public and private sector—governmental, private non-profit and cooperative organizations, as well as profit-seeking enterprises. International Journal of the Economics of Business carries papers relating to three main spheres: The organization—to analyse and aid decision making and the internal organization of the business; The industry—to analyse how businesses interact and evolve within and across industries.
