Regulatory economics
Our experience in advising companies, regulators and governments spans the range of regulated network sectors and extends across Europe and further afield. Over the period since privatisation in the UK and the early years of economic regulation in the UK and across Europe, we have evolved and extended our expertise, specialising in advice on:
- introducing competition into regulated network markets;
- regulatory pricing arrangements ;
- consumer behaviour in regulated markets;
- the interaction between regulation and service quality;
- network access; and
- universal service obligations.
Our regulatory expertise extends into all the major regulated sectors, but we have particular expertise in energy, water, telecoms, post and air transport.energy, water, telecoms, post and air transport.
