The access pricing problem with deregulation: a note

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on retail price deregulation. Results show that the efficient component pricing rule margin is required for the optimal regulation of the retail price-access price margin. Results also reveal that the optimal access price, which can be higher, lower or equal to marginal cost, should be regulated to boost welfare and entrant profits. Deregulation was also found to distort consumer choice since it makes products harder to differentiate.

Article Abstract:

The Baumol-Willig efficient component pricing rule provides that setting the price of access to an essential facility equal to the sum of the direct cost of access and the opportunity cost to the integrated access provider is efficient.
