regulation in the electricity sectors has been analyzed. Using 19 EU countries (2006-2014), the EU environmental index, the OECD … regulatory indicators and the total factor productivity (TFP) growth have been decomposed to highlight the complexity of the … relations between electricity sector and regulatory policies. In the first stage we compute the three disaggregated TFP …
