Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past thirty years have witnessed a transformation of government economic intervention in broad segments of industry throughout the world. Many industries historically subject to economic price and entry controls have been largely deregulated, including natural gas, trucking, airlines, and commercial banking. However, recent concerns about market power in restructured electricity markets, airline industry instability amid chronic financial stress, and the challenges created by the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, which allowed commercial banks to participate in investment banking, have led to calls for renewed market intervention. Economic Regulation and Its Reform collects research by a group of distinguished scholars who explore these and other issues surrounding government economic intervention. Determining the consequences of such intervention requires a careful assessment of the costs and benefits of imperfect regulation. Moreover, government interventions may take a variety of forms, from relatively nonintrusive performance-based regulations to more aggressive antitrust and competition policies and barriers to entry. This volume introduces the key issues surrounding economic regulation, provides an assessment of the economic effects of regulatory reforms over the past three decades, and examines how these insights bear on some of today’s most significant concerns in regulatory policy.
Download or read book Leading Issues in Competition Regulation and Development written by Paul Cook and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The promotion of liberalized and deregulated markets by bilateral and multilateral aid donors, and by global institutions such as the WTO, has led to significant attention being paid to competition and regulatory reforms in developing economies. The process of reform involves the transfer and diffusion of market models derived from practice and theory in developed countries. However, in developing countries, regulation needs to do more than simply promote competitiveness and consumer interests: it also needs to ensure that the market nurtures development. By rigorously examining the numerous impacts of regulation, this book will help to fill a significant gap in the literature on economic and social development. The book, now available in paperback, draws together contributions from leading experts across a range of disciplines including economics, law, politics and governance, public management and business management. The authors begin with an extensive overview of the issues of regulation and competition in developing countries, and carefully illustrate the important themes and concepts involved. Using a variety of country and sector case studies, they move on to focus on the problems of applicability and adaptation that are experienced in the process of transferring best practice policy models from developed to developing countries. The book presents a clear agenda for further empirical research and is notable for its rigorous exploration of the links between theory and practice. Although there is substantial interest in competition and regulation, as yet there has been relatively little investigation of these issues in developing economies. This book redresses the balance and will be a valuable resource for researchers, academics, teachers and students interested in development economics and development studies. It will also be of great relevance for practitioners and policymakers working in the fields of competition policy and regulatory reform.

Download or read book Competition Policy and Patent Law under Uncertainty written by Geoffrey A. Manne and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-13 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The regulation of innovation and the optimal design of legal institutions in an environment of uncertainty are two of the most important policy challenges of the twenty-first century. Innovation is critical to economic growth. Regulatory design decisions, and, in particular, competition policy and intellectual property regimes, can have profound consequences for economic growth. However, remarkably little is known about the relationship between innovation, competition, and regulatory policy. Any legal regime must attempt to assess the tradeoffs associated with rules that will affect incentives to innovate, allocative efficiency, competition, and freedom of economic actors to commercialize the fruits of their innovative labors. The essays in this book approach this critical set of problems from an economic perspective, relying on the tools of microeconomics, quantitative analysis, and comparative institutional analysis to explore and begin to provide answers to the myriad challenges facing policymakers.

Download or read book Reforming Infrastructure written by Ioannis Nicolaos Kessides and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, railways, and water supply, are often vertically and horizontally integrated state monopolies. This results in weak services, especially in developing and transition economies, and for poor people. Common problems include low productivity, high costs, bad quality, insufficient revenue, and investment shortfalls. Many countries over the past two decades have restructured, privatized and regulated their infrastructure. This report identifies the challenges involved in this massive policy redirection. It also assesses the outcomes of these changes, as well as their distributional consequences for poor households and other disadvantaged groups. It recommends directions for future reforms and research to improve infrastructure performance, identifying pricing policies that strike a balance between economic efficiency and social equity, suggesting rules governing access to bottleneck infrastructure facilities, and proposing ways to increase poor people's access to these crucial services.

This informative book will prove invaluable to postgraduate students, policymakers, and researchers in fields such as regulation, empirical industrial organization, and public policy.
Download or read book The Impact of Regulation on Entrepreneurship and Innovation written by Erin Lynne Scott and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While entrepreneurs are hailed as the key to innovation and growth, often in industries where these benefits are most desired, governments add regulations that may handicap entrepreneurs and dampen these benefits. Given the importance of both entrepreneurship and regulation to improving social outcomes, it is imperative for entrepreneurship scholars and policy makers to better understand these apparently countervailing forces of free entry and regulation. This work investigates the impact of regulations on competition, entry, and innovation (productivity growth) using the natural quasi-experimental properties of the U.S. bail bond industry. The first chapter analyzes the impact of entry and operating regulation on price competition. Entry is valued because it triggers competition through lower price-cost margins in the short run and greater efficiency in the long run. However, there is concern that regulations, by restricting entry, may deter competition. I adapt Bresnahan and Reiss' (1991) methodology to examine a proprietary data set of firm counts, demand, and regulations and use counter-factual policy experiments to test not only the effects of regulation on price competition generally, but also the relative effects of particular regulations. This analysis finds the counter-intuitive result that a regulatory environment with entry regulations requires fewer firms than an environment with unrestricted entry to achieve a competitive environment. Operating regulations were found to have no impact on price competition. These results suggest that there does not appear to be a penalty to price competition from regulations. Entrepreneurship is valued primarily because it stimulates Schumpeter's gale of creative destruction. However, a popular view, reinforced by recent empirical work on regulatory reform, is that regulation inhibits entrepreneurship and innovation (productivity growth). The second chapter of my dissertation investigates this relationship. As regulations are designed primarily for first-order concerns such as correcting market failures, it is important to understand the relative performance of different types of regulations with respect to their impact on entry and innovation. However, the literature offers little guidance. This is because prior empirical work has either looked at the impact of a particular regulation or, more commonly, has employed proxy measures of regulatory extent. This analysis uses structural models of the entrepreneur's entry decision and the incumbent's continuation (not to exit) decision to conduct counterfactual policy experiments that allow for comparison of the impact of different regulatory regimes on entry and innovation. Results from this exercise indicate that regulations that operate through firm selection mechanisms decrease firm counts, yet increase innovation whereas regulations that seek to alter firm behavior directly have no impact on firm entry or innovation. These results suggest that it is possible to design regulations without imposing the Schumpeterian cost on innovation. They also provide preliminary evidence as to which regulations best accomplish this goal.
