Energy Economics, 2021, vol. 94, issue C

Abstract: It is highly debated whether residential electricity markets were mature enough for market liberalization. While most countries are unambiguously committed to the trend of liberalization, the Hungarian government decided to re-regulate the residential electricity prices after the liberalization reforms were completed. This situation provides a unique opportunity to study the price effects of a subsequent regulation process.
