Competition Policy in Regulated Industries: Approaches for Emerging Economies
By Paulina Beato, Jean-Jacques Laffont (12/02, En)
 ISBN: 1-931003-36-X IDB Bookstore | Competition Policy in Regulated Industries is part of a larger effort of the Inter-American Development Bank to find new ways to improve the efficiency of infrastructure services in emerging economies. The Bank's agenda includes two main goals in this regard: increasing competitiveness and promoting regional integration. This book makes the case that enhancing competition in infrastructure sectors demands the appropriate mix of three policies: structural reforms that separate competitive and noncompetitive segments; competition regulations that that preclude abuse of dominant position and control mergers and acquisitions; and appropriate regulations for ensuring that prices of and access to essential facilities (the noncompetitive segments of the industry) are nondiscriminatory and fair. In addition, this book discusses how competition and liberalization in the infrastructure sectors are critical for transnational projects and regional integration. |
