Synopsis

Michael Crew and David Parker have compiled a comprehensive, up-to-date and detailed analytical work on leading research issues in the economics of regulation. With contributions from international specialists in economic regulation, the Handbook provides a comprehensive discussion of major developments in both the theory and practice of regulatory economics. This book will be an indispensable source for both students and practitioners of regulation.

The Handbook begins by looking at the principles, history and methods of regulation before turning to specialist themes including:

• pricing and social welfare
• regulating service quality
• consumer representation<
• performance benchmarking
• environmental regulation
• calculating the cost of capital
• information revelation and incentives
• the economics of access charging
• regulatory governance
• regulatory policy in developing countries
• particular issues in the regulation of the telecommunications, energy, transport and water sectors.

The International Handbook on Economic Regulation is essential reading for researchers in the economics of regulation and students of regulation on final year undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses. As a major reference work, it is of value and assistance to economists in regulatory offices, regulated companies and government departments.
