| Abstract: | O artigo pretende avaliar as consequéncias em termos de eficiéncia dos diferentes regimes regulatérios para telefonia local nos E.U.A. Especificamente, contrasta-se regimes regulatdrios alternativos (regime de limitacéo de precos e regulacdo por incentivos) com a tradicional regulação da taxa de retorno. Indicadores de eficiéncia relativa são obtidos a partir da abordagem da Andlise Envoltéria de Dados (DEA), A analise de regressão acerca dos determinantes da eficiéncia indica após controlar para efeitos referentes a progresso técnico que as formas alternativas de regulação parecem induzir a um nivel mais elevado de eficiência por parte das firmas reguladas, |
| Abstract: | The paper aims at assessing the efficiency consequences of different regulatory regimes for U.S. local telephony. Specifically one contrasts alternative regulatory regimes (price-cap regulation and incentive regulation) with traditional rate-of-return regulation. Relative efficiency scores are obtained from the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach. The regression analysis on the determinants of efficiency indicates, after controlling for technical change effects, that alternative forms of regulation appear to induce a higher level of efficiency for the regulated firms. |
