Abstract: Pooling of costs and revenues is commonly practiced by public utilities, and by other firms exercising a degree of market power. In this paper, a variety of explanations of pooling are considered. A new explanation based on the concept of common property, is advanced. The costs of pooling are assessed, and some alternatives to pooling are considered.
