Network Competition with Income Effects
Tangerås, Thomas - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2012
I generalize the workhorse model of network competition to include income effects in demand. Empirical work has shown income effects to be positive and statistically significant. Income effects deliver theoretical results consistent with regulatory concern about excessive termination rates:...

Network Competition: Workhorse Resurrection
Tangerås, Thomas P. - NET Institute - 2010
I generalize the workhorse model of network competition (Armstrong, 1998; Laffont, Rey and Tirole, 1998a,b) to include income effects in call demand. Income effects imply that call demand depends also on the subscription fee, not only on the call price. In the standard case of differentiated...

In particular, we analyze the asymmetric … not extend to a multi???firm setting, largely because regulation of multiple networks is structurally far richer. …

The Price of Copper and the Transition to Fibre
CAVE, Martin; FOURNIER, Antoine; SHUTOVA, Natalia - In: Communications & Strategies 1 (2012) 85, pp. 147-168
The question of how to price access to the copper network during the period of transition to fibre has attracted much attention, both from regulators and in reports prepared by consultants (notably Plum Consulting and WIK Consult) acting for different groups of operators. Our paper considers...

Ex-ante margin squeeze tests in the telecommunications industry: What is a reasonably efficient operator? (Revised: September 6, 2012)
Gaudin, Germain; Saavedra Valenzuela, Claudia - International Telecommunications Society (ITS) - 2012
In this paper, we study the adjustments made by National Regulatory Authorities to simple margin squeeze tests, in order to model a reasonably efficient operator. More precisely, by inspecting the possible differences between an entrant and an incumbent that would cause a market disadvantage for...

Ex-ante margin squeeze tests in the telecommunications industry: What is a reasonably efficient operator?
Gaudin, Germain; Saavedra Valenzuela, Claudia - International Telecommunications Society (ITS) - 2012
In this paper, we study the adjustments that National Regulatory Authorities make to simple margin squeeze tests, when using them ex-ante. More precisely, by inspecting the possible differences between an entrant and the incumbent that would cause a market disadvantage for the former, we provide...

Coexistence of copper and fiber unbundling: Access charges and investment incentives
Tselekounis, Markos; Orfanou, Georgia; Varoutas, Dimitris - International Telecommunications Society (ITS) - 2014
We study the impact of the access charges of copper and fiber unbundling on an incumbent's incentives to invest in fiber access networks. Once the fiber deployment is in place, the incumbent and the entrant compete for consumers in both copper and fiber markets. We show that when the regulator...

The relationship between local loop unbundling and the deployment of alternative broadband networks: An empirical analysis
Garrone, Paola; Zaccagnino, Michele - International Telecommunications Society (ITS) - 2011
This paper means to add to empirical research on the impact of local loop unbundling (LLU) on broadband networks. In particular, it focuses on broadband investment made by entrants. Starting from late Nineties telecommunications incumbents of several European Union countries have been required...
