Network Competition with Income Effects
Tangerås, Thomas - 2012
I generalize the workhorse model of network competition to include income effects in call demand. Empirical work has shown call demand to increase significantly with income. For any positive income effect, network operators prefer a termination rate above marginal cost if networks are...

International network competition
Tangerås, Thomas P.; Tåg, Joacim - 2014
We analyse network competition in a market with international calls. National regulatory agencies (NRAs) have incentives to set regulated termination rates above marginal cost to extract rent from international call termination. International network ownership and deregulation are alternatives...

On the Profit Neutrality of Access Charges in Network Competition
Tangerås, Thomas - 2008
This note demonstrates that the puzzling profit neutrality of access charges, i.e., the networks' profits are independent of the access charge with two-part call tariffs, depends crucially on a specific property of subscription demand. Profit neutrality is equivalent to the subscription...
