Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Economy - Theory of Competition, Competition Policy, grade: 1, University of Ulster (School of Business Organisation and Management), course: Business Economics, 12 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Index Introduction 1. The market forces argument 4 2. Breakdown of the market forces argument in natural monopolies 6 3. Economic key issues which regulators of privatised industries should consider 8 4. References 12 Introduction This essay covers some issues of privatisation and regulation. It is divided into three parts. Part one gives a brief outline of the author s understanding of the market forces argument for privatisation. In the second part it is explained what is meant by a natural monopoly and why the market forces argument does not hold if an industry is a natural monopoly. The third part then discusses which economic key issues should be considered by the regulatory body of a privatised industry. Privatisation is the transfer of public ownership away from the state to private ownership. Regulation is a limitation on the behaviour of firms or organizations, imposed by the government. From the view of competition it is the aim to remove market distortions which are caused by public enterprises and regulations (Case K. et al. 1999: 356.)

Book Description
Electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, railways, and water supply, are often vertically and horizontally integrated state monopolies. This results in weak services, especially in developing and transition economies, and for poor people. Common problems include low productivity, high costs, bad quality, insufficient revenue, and investment shortfalls. Many countries over the past two decades have restructured, privatized and regulated their infrastructure. This report identifies the challenges involved in this massive policy redirection. It also assesses the outcomes of these changes, as well as their distributional consequences for poor households and other disadvantaged groups. It recommends directions for future reforms and research to improve infrastructure performance, identifying pricing policies that strike a balance between economic efficiency and social equity, suggesting rules governing access to bottleneck infrastructure facilities, and proposing ways to increase poor people's access to these crucial services.

Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: In the global economy, privatization has become a central issue within economic reforms taking place in developing countries, and it is associated with the neo-liberal model reforms from the 1980's. Developing countries struggle to maintain high standards in public services such as water, energy, telecommunications, transportation, health, education, and, therefore, the adoption of policies to increase the effectiveness are needed. Privatization in theory should help these entities to become more efficient and benefit the majority of the population though, in practice, these objectives are rarely accomplished. The role of competition and regulation in such businesses are essential for development and growth, especially through the injection of private capital and fostering of competition. The principal common factor of these businesses is the natural component of monopolies which, according to Hellwig (2008), represents the use of a fixed network infrastructure that translates into largely sunk costs. Federal reforms aim for the improvement of performance in such important sectors of public services; however much of the research proves that; this has been reasonably unsuccessful in developing countries based on lack of institutional capacity. Even in theory, regulatory framework imported from developed countries was not suitable to the social and economic context in developing countries consequently the application of such previous experiences was not productive. This paper attempts to show that competition and regulation in the privatization process within developing countries could be successful if necessary reforms are based on the country’s economic, social, and political structure. As mentioned, the privatization process, as successfully applied in developed countries, requires significant adjustment for it to be pursued in transitional economies. This paper has been divided into five sections. The first section focuses on the concepts of privatization, competition and regulation. The second analyses how the role of RIA (Regulatory Impact Assessment) could increase privatization efficiency. On the other hand, the third analyses some system utilities and privatization reforms; then how competition could improve the business on privatization. The fourth section provides the control legal framework for businesses to follow. The paper concludes with recommendations and a brief summary and critique of the findings.

Book Description
This is the first book to use a comparative approach to examine the effect of different constitutional and legal traditions on privatization. Focusing on privatization in the UK and France, Graham and Prosser suggest that the British Government was remarkably free from constitutional limitation, whereas in France the written constitution imposed important restrictions on the scope of privatization and on the arrangements for the pricing of shares. This detailed analysis of the effect of legal constraints on economic policy adds a constitutional dimension to what has primarily been seen as an economic issue, and will make a unique and valuable contribution to current debates in political studies.
