Privatizing monopolies in developing countries: the real effects of exclusivity periods in telecommunications

Article Abstract:

The effects of the privatization transactions in relation to 'exclusivity periods' are examined. Exclusivity periods are correlated with a significant decrease in the incumbent's investment in the telecommunications network.
