Sinossi

This text explores public utility regulation using an economic framework of regulation. The purpose of regulation is to promote economic efficiency and perhaps fairness by putting restrictions on the economic opportunities of the utility firm. This framework allows the author to specify what a regulator must do to maximize the economic benefits to consumers. This book is written for regulators, utilities, and academics interested in the study of regulation.

Recensione

`To sum up, Glenn Blackmon has written a fine book that repreents a valuable contribution to the literature on incentive regulation. He poses the `right' questions and supplies thought-provoking answers. The exposition is clear and well-motivated with the right mix of theory and practice. It should prove to be a useful reference for regulatory practitioners and academics alike. In a classroom setting, it would be an ideal supplemental text for a standard course in regulatory economics. It is well worth reading!'
