Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reflects on questions relating to the Canadian experience with regulatory reform and its implications for the role of competition policy over the past decade. After an introduction on the expanding role of competition policy, part II provides a comparative assessment of competition policy and direct economic regulation as alternative instruments of economic governance. Part III discusses the Canadian experience with deregulation, particularly in the transportation and telecommunications sectors. Part IV examines the interface between economic regulation and the substantive provisions of competition law in industries that are moving from an environment of pervasive regulation to one of substantial reliance on competitive market forces. In particular, it studies the application of the regulated conduct defence, the decision by regulatory authorities to withdraw from regulating a particular sector or group of firms in an industry, and application of the Competition Act.

Book excerpt: From the Introduction: This study examines the nature of and prospects for regulatory reform in Canada. In particular, we are concerned with the elimination of liberalization of direct regulation in such industries as telecommunications, airlines, trucking, and agriculture ... In focusing our attention on the prospects for reforming direct regulation in Canada, we do not wish to slight the potential value of reforming the regulatory process. But most procedural reforms focus on the margin or flow of new regulation while deregulation proper is aimed at reducing the enourmous stock already in existence ... Within the field of direct regulation we have further narrowed our analysis to the role of the federal government as regulator.

Download or read book Fairer Play written by G. Bruce Doern and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competition policy is defined as those policies and actions of the state intended to prevent certain restraints of trade by private firms. Canadian laws, institutions, and practices regarding anticompetitive measures have a significant impact on the fairness and efficiency of Canadian business and on the ultimate accrual of the benefits of competition to the Canadian public. This volume reviews how Canada's core competition policy institutions and players, notably the Bureau of Competition Policy and the Director of Investigation and Research, have implemented the Competition Act of 1986 and, in the process, have dealt increasingly with cases requiring some measure of economic analysis and judgment, as opposed to criminal prosecution. The volume also examines the experience of other countries and offers an 8-point comparative framework against which to assess competition regimes. It then suggests options for change in a number of areas of Canadian competition policy.

Download or read book Competition Policies in Emerging Economies written by Claudia Schatan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-11 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As countries large and small, rich and poor are drawn inexorably into the global economy, protectionist policies are proving increasingly inefficient and ineffective for driving growth. The countries of Latin America, which have long pursued agendas of state ownership and heavy regulation of key industries, began to institute a series of reforms in the 1980s and 1990s, designed to promote competition and business creation. However, without the legal and institutional framework to support these policies (and thus guarantee resource-efficient behavior on the part of business owners), the record has been spotty at best. Competition Policies in Emerging Economies features in-depth analysis of two key industries—telecommunications and banking—in several Central American nations to shed light on the dynamics of the transition to deregulation and trade liberalization, and learn from the experiences of these economies. This book has a three-fold purpose: (1) to examine the competition conditions and policies of small developing countries of Central America (and hence cover an area where very little information exists); (2) develop an in-depth analysis of regulation and competition policies in two key industrial sectors with poor competition records (telecommunications and banking); (3) link the former results analysis with other international experiences, in order to derive research and policy recommendations that can be applied to other small, developing, and emerging economies. Featuring discussion of political, legal, economic, financial, cultural, and organization-level issues, the book provides unique perspectives on the forces resisting competitive practices and offers suggestions for overcoming them.
Download or read book Regulatory Quality and Competition Policy written by International Finance Corporation and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulatory reform and competition policy are two important and inter-related areas of regulatory policy and public administration. Both can play a key role in improving the quality of regulation, and creating healthy and competitive markets and an attractive investment climate. This in turn leads to greater economic growth, employment and incomes. Part one of this paper discusses definitions and key issues associated with regulation, regulatory quality, and competition policy. This discussion focuses on competition policy as it relates to restrictions on competition and also pro-competitive regulation, which involves protecting consumers through economic regulation. Part two of this paper considers institutions and processes for implementing regulatory quality and competition policy agendas, including regulatory agencies, regulatory reform bodies, competition authorities and broader regulation-making processes. Part three notes the importance of assessing competition policy issues on a case-by-case basis and identifies the main objectives and features of competition policy. This includes a discussion about when competition policy issues are likely to play an important role in regulatory assessment and reform. Part four considers mechanisms for coordinating- where appropriate-competition policy and regulatory quality assessments, including undertaking competition assessments and providing advice to decision makers.
