Impact of competition and regulation on prices of mobile services : evidence from France
Grzybowski, Lukasz; Nicolle, Ambre; Zulehner, Christine - 2017
In this paper, we assess the impact of competition and regulation on prices of mobile services in France. We estimate … hedonic price regressions using data on tariff plans offered by the main mobile telecommunications operator in France between …-adjusted prices to a set of competition and regulation variables and find that the launch of 4G networks by mobile operators was the …

Regulation of Mobile Telephony Across the European Union : An Empirical Analysis
Grzybowski, Lukasz - 2007
In this paper, I analyze the impact of regulatory policy on prices and demand for mobile telecommunications services across the European Union. I estimate a reduced form model of the mobile industry using panel data for the EU countries from 1998 to 2002. Among others, I find the following...

Competition in the Turkish mobile telecommunications market : price elasticities and network substitution
Haucap, Justus; Heimeshoff, Ulrich; Karacuka, Mehmet - 2010
This paper estimates demand elasticities for the Turkish mobile telecommunication market. In contrast to most other studies, firm level data is used to estimate dynamic panel data models including instrumental variable techniques. Both short- and long-run elasticities are calculated, yielding a...

Estimating Demand for Cellular Phone Service Under Nonlinear Pricing
Huang, Ching-I - 2008
Cellular phone carriers typically offer complicated nonlinear tariffs. Consumers make a discrete choice among several rate plans. Each plan has a nonlinear price schedule, and price is usually lower for in-network calls. I present an empirical framework to estimate demand under such nonlinear...
