This book was released on 1992 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C.D. Foster drawing on his enormous experience in Government, industry and academia, has written a most comprehensive study of privatization policy under the Conservative Government of the last 2 years. In this lucid, non-technical work, Foster draws on the history of state intervention, regulation, and nationalization of industries that were argued to be natural monopolies, for example, the railways. The failure of nationalized industries, Foster argues, is rooted not only in inefficiency, but in the lack of any clear performance indicators of what such public enterprises should be achieving. These observations open out his book into a discussion of the development of privatization under Mrs Thatcher (not apparently part of a big plan, but more a muddling through of policy ideas). Subsequently Foster contrasts the legal and economic construction of regulation in the US to the looser rein of the new British style of regulation. The remaining chapters evaluate the performance and regulation of the newly privatized enterprises and Foster finds that on balance the new regulatory structures are workable and have avoided many of the problems of the past. Foster's scholarly and measured, yet accessible book is a moderate defence of what became a central ideological plank of Thatcherism. He calls for a carefully thought through planning of regulation where other States are thinking of privatizing their public enterprises. He also discusses how far the same objectives can be achieved through public enterprise reform. This book, given the wealth of detail about public policy should appeal greatly to lawyers, economists and political scientists, as well as those on courses in public administration and other professionals.

Book excerpt: Natural monopolies exist in those markets in which demand can be satisfied at lowest cost by the output of only one rather than several competing firms. Under such conditions, conventional wisdom suggests that government regulation must substitute for competition to discipline the behavior of firms.

Download or read book Natural Monopoly Regulation written by Sanford V. Berg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989-01-27 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered the cutting edge of microeconomic theory in the 1970s, natural monopoly research remains an active and fertile field. Policy makers and regulators have begun to implement entry and pricing policies that are based on theoretical and empirical analyses. This book develops a comprehensive framework for analyzing natural monopoly. The authors first present a historical overview of regulatory economics, followed by analyses of optimal pricing and investment for single- and multiproduct natural monopolies. Topics covered include cost and demand structures, efficiency impacts of linear and multipart pricing, peak-load pricing, capacity determination, and the sustainability of natural monopolies. After a survey and analysis of natural monopoly regulation in practice, the links between technological change and regulation are identified. The book concludes with a discussion of the alternatives to traditional regulation, including public ownership, franchise schemes, quality regulation, and new incentive systems. Throughout the book, issues from the telecommunications and energy industries are used to illustrate key points. Its integrated framework will make it useful to academic economists, regulatory analysts, business researchers, and advanced students of public utility economics.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Economy - Theory of Competition, Competition Policy, grade: 1, University of Ulster (School of Business Organisation and Management), course: Business Economics, 12 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Index Introduction 1. The market forces argument 4 2. Breakdown of the market forces argument in natural monopolies 6 3. Economic key issues which regulators of privatised industries should consider 8 4. References 12 Introduction This essay covers some issues of privatisation and regulation. It is divided into three parts. Part one gives a brief outline of the author s understanding of the market forces argument for privatisation. In the second part it is explained what is meant by a natural monopoly and why the market forces argument does not hold if an industry is a natural monopoly. The third part then discusses which economic key issues should be considered by the regulatory body of a privatised industry. Privatisation is the transfer of public ownership away from the state to private ownership. Regulation is a limitation on the behaviour of firms or organizations, imposed by the government. From the view of competition it is the aim to remove market distortions which are caused by public enterprises and regulations (Case K. et al. 1999: 356.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s and '90s many countries turned to the private sector to provide infrastructure and utilities, such as gas, telephones, and highways--with the idea that market-based incentives would control costs and improve the quality of essential services. But subsequent debacles including the collapse of California's wholesale electricity market and the bankruptcy of Britain's largest railroad company have raised troubling questions about privatization. This book addresses one of the most vexing of these: how can government fairly and effectively regulate "natural monopolies"--those infrastructure and utility services whose technologies make competition impractical? Rather than sticking to economics, José Gómez-Ibáñez draws on history, politics, and a wealth of examples to provide a road map for various approaches to regulation. He makes a strong case for favoring market-oriented and contractual approaches--including private contracts between infrastructure providers and customers as well as concession contracts with the government acting as an intermediary--over those that grant government regulators substantial discretion. Contracts can provide stronger protection for infrastructure customers and suppliers--and greater opportunities to tailor services to their mutual advantage. In some cases, however, the requirements of the firms and their customers are too unpredictable for contracts to work, and alternative schemes may be needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this witty and modest intellectual autobiography, George J. Stigler gives us a fascinating glimpse into the little-known world of economics and the people who study it. One of the most distinguished economists of the twentieth century, Stigler was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1982 for his work on public regulation. He also helped found the Chicago School of economics, and many of his fellow Chicago luminaries appear in these pages, including Fredrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Ronald Coase, and Gary Becker. Stigler's appreciation for such colleagues and his sense of excitement about economic ideas past and present make his Memoirs both highly entertaining and highly educational.
