基本説明

In Association with the Belgian-Dutch Association for Institutional and Political Economy.

Full Description

This book examines the ongoing transformation of public utilities, also known as network-based industries, in Western Europe and the United States. Examples are telecommunications, energy, and water distribution. Most of these network-based industries were until recently natural monopolies. Over the last two decades national governments have embarked upon privatization, deregulation and liberalization of their public utilities. The contributors in this volume examine the many related aspects, including:

key characteristics and regulation of network based industries

the emerging EU regulatory framework

corporate strategies, industry dynamics, and organizational performance

case studies from the telecommunications and water industries

engineering competition versus engineering regulation.

This book provides a non-ideological and multidisciplinary overview of recent views and experiences with the liberalization, privatization and regulatory reform of public utilities in Europe and the United States. As such it will be of interest to scholars and researchers of institutional economics, and organizational studies, as well as regulators, policymakers and consultants involved in both studying and governing network-based industries.
