Antonio Estache and Tommaso Valletti

No 2133, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers

Abstract: The paper provides policymakers and regulators with an overview of the more relevant theoretical issues related to the pricing of access to ensure that the political debate around practical concerns is solidly grounded. The paper discusses in detail the importance of access pricing in the context of: 1) a liberalized and vertically separated industry, 2) liberalized but vertically integrated industries, 3) unregulated access (private negotiations).
