This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a comprehensive country-level panel data set covering the period from 1981 to 1998, we examine the impact of privatization and competition in the telecommunications sector around the world. Privatization contributed substantially to labor shedding, output growth, network expansion, and improvements in labor productivity as well as total factor productivity. But how countries privatized is important. On the one hand, share-issue privatization facilitated the development of the mobile market segment. Granting a newly privatized operator a period of exclusive market access, on the other hand, reduced the gains from privatization (owing to the output-restricting tendency associated with market power) but did not entirely negate them. The presence of competitive pressure in the market was associated with more employment, higher output, faster network expansion, and higher labor and total factor productivity. We find evidence of complementarity between privatization and competition in that competition increased the gains from privatization and vice versa. Our estimates show that half of the output growth between 1990 and 1998 was attributable to privatization and competition, after controlling for input growth. Competition appeared to have a larger impact on labor and total factor productivity than did privatization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This is an important and thought provoking book for the understanding of privatisation. The author perceptively identifies contradictions that emerge from the process and outcome of privatisation, and attempts to explain these through a comparative analysis of telecommunications reform in three Central American countries. The result is a carefully researched book that provides new insights into the politics of privatisation. It will be compelling reading for the student and practitioner alike.' - Paul Cook, University of Manchester, UK This book provides a comparative study of the telecommunication reform process in three Central American countries - Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras - focusing on the roles of the local private sector and international financial institutions.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empirical analysis of telecommunications reforms in 30 African and Latin American countries yields results largely consistent with conventional wisdom. Competition seems to be the most successful change agent, so granting even temporary monopolies may delay the arrival of better services to consumers. Reformers are correct to emphasize that regulatory reform accompany privatization, as privatization without regulation reform may be costly to consumers.Wallsten explores the effects of privatization, competition, and regulation on telecommunications performance in 30 African and Latin American countries from 1984 through 1997.Competition is associated with tangible benefits in terms of mainline penetration, number of pay phones, connection capacity, and reduced prices. Fixed-effects regressions reveal that competition-measured by mobile operators not owned by the incumbent telecommunications provider-is correlated with increases in the per capita number of mainlines, pay phones, and connection capacity, and with decreases in the price of local calls.Privatizing an incumbent is negatively correlated with mainline penetration and connection capacity.Privatization combined with regulation by an independent regulator, however, is positively correlated with connection capacity and substantially mitigates privatization`s negative correlation with mainline penetration.Reformers are right to emphasize a combination of privatization, competition, and regulation. But researchers must explore the permutations of regulation: What type of regulation do countries adopt (price caps versus cost-of-service, for example)? How does the regulatory agency work? What is its annual budget? How many employees does it have? Where do the regulators come from? What sort of training and experience do they have? What enforcement powers does the regulatory agency have?In addition, researchers must deal with endogeneity of privatization, competition, and regulation to deal with issues of causality.This paper - a product of Regulation and Competition Policy, Development Research Group - is part of a larger research effort to analyze the role of competition in telecommunications with special emphasis on Africa.

Download or read book Privatization Competition and Best Practices for Telecom Sector Reform written by Raul L. Katz and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) generate a wide range of social and economic externalities. Therefore, if ICT are not deployed and adopted within short periods of time, countries face significant social and economic opportunity costs. This paper provides empirical evidence in support of the importance of telecommunications sector reform to accelerate broadband deployment speed and adoption in the ICT sector to deliver social and economic impact. The theory of change put forward in this study establishes that privatization of incumbent telecommunications operators supports the introduction of competition and improved quality of regulations, which together condition the speed of technology migration, the amount of telecommunications capital spending and broadband penetration. In turn, all these three factors maximize economic impact and, ultimately, the development of the digital economy.
Download or read book The Efficacy of Privatization Policies in the Chilean and Mexican Telecommunications Industries written by Lana Jane Ellis and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privatization of the Mexican and Chilean telecommunications industries can provide guidelines for industry restructuring. Specifically, privatization of Compañía de Telecommunicaciones de Chile and Telefonos de Mexico provides two case studies to examine and analyze in assessing the role of privatization with respect to communication and information technologies and services in promoting economic development within lesser-developed countries. A thorough examination of these two approaches will provide a conceptual framework for evaluating the full range of benefits and costs associated with implementation of specific policies contributing to sound telecommunications decisions. This dissertation presents an analytical comparison of privatization of the Chilean and Mexican telecommunications industries, beginning with an overview of the telecommunications industry in developing nations. A discussion of the lessons learned from privatization of telecommunications in other developing nations as well as progress to date will follow. A review of the background of telecommunications privatization and lessons from more-developed nations completes the historical background necessary to frame the remaining topics. An examination of recent developments shows how the pressure for reform is mounting, notably because of technological advancements and the increasingly competitive telecommunications global marketplace. The primary focus of the paper is on identifying policies and practices that will maximize the gains from divestiture. Telefonos de Mexico and Compañía de Telecommunicaciones de Chile are examined in a comparative analysis of the privatization processes and results in Mexico and Chile. An examination of research results includes a discussion of socioeconomic issues and their implications followed by a discussion of policy issues and their implications. The paper ends with a discussion of research limitations and suggestions for further research.
