Regulation of Mobile Telephony across the European Union: An Empirical Analysis

Lukasz Grzybowski

Journal of Regulatory Economics, 2005, vol. 28, issue 1, pages 47-67

Abstract: In this paper I analyze the impact of regulatory policy on prices and demand for mobile telecommunications services across the European Union. I estimate a reduced form model of the mobile industry using panel data for the EU countries from 1998 to 2002. Among others, I find the following effects: liberalization of fixed telephone lines has a negative impact on prices and a positive impact on the demand for mobile services, and the introduction of mobile number portability has a negative impact on prices.
