Abstract

The objective of this paper is to broaden the discussion on regulation in general and on the regulation of utilities in particular. Beyond the technical complexity involved in designing and implementing regulatory interventions, we focus our attention on the conditions for achieving a fair process of regulations. Such a process takes into consideration the interest of consumers as well as those of the investors and the government. We conceptualize the problem of regulation as a problem of provision of a pure public good.
