Abstract: WELCOM is a microsimulation tool that estimates the distributional effects of changes in market structure (e.g. a move from monopoly to more competitive markets) which could be induced through regulatory reform or easing of trade barriers. By default, the results are reported by quintiles, but allows for alternative partition of the population. In addition, the package enables to show the impacts of gradual movements from a concentrated market to a competitive market.
