Opis

This book examines competition and regulation in the liberalized telecommunications markets. It fills the gap between the existing economic literature on competition and the real-life application of theory to policy. Paul de Bijl and Martin Peitz analyze a broad range of market constellations; in particular, the hot topic of access price regulation in asymmetric markets. The study is a valuable resource for academics, regulators and telecommunications professionals. It is accompanied by extensive simulation programs.

Recenzje

Review of the hardback: 'In summary, this well-written and logically organized book provides many useful insights for policymakers, industry consultants, and academics alike. Although the formal analysis abstracts from many issues of substantial practical importance, the models analyzed in the book (and the additional simulations that readers can explore on their own) are unusually rich and capture many essential features of regulation and competition in network industries.' David Sappington, Journal of Economic Literature
