Course Brief: Building and maintaining infrastructure – our roads, ports, electricity grids, and telecommunications networks - is expensive. No surprise then that poor countries have worse infrastructure than richer ones. But the challenge of infrastructure improvements is not just one of finding money. The root of the problem lies in the potential for abuse of market power. Customers fear that firms will use their market power to overcharge; firms fear governments will use their regulatory power to prevent them from covering their costs. Good, credible regulation is therefore key. What are the characteristics, strategies, and tools of effective utility regulation?

This course addresses the multiple objectives and best practices of effective utility regulation. Content covers promoting utility efficiency, satisfying demand, protecting consumers and users, promoting competition, and protecting investors against opportunistic government actions.
