Strategic Behaviour in Network Industries

Ernst ten Heuvelhof, Martin de Jong, Mirjam Kars and Helen Stout

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This in-depth book explains how institutional changes such as the privatization and liberalization of network industries, for example transport, energy or telecommunications, can frequently be disappointing. The expected benefits such as lower prices, innovation and better services fail to materialize, often because the number of competitors is low. The authors demonstrate how strategic actor behaviour of one or more of the firms involved can help explain these disappointing results.
