In particular, it studies the access pricing policy which provides the optimal balance between static and dynamic efficiency that better reflects the changing regulatory goals in a highly variable economic and technological environment. Static efficiency concerns the maximization of social welfare by intensifying the competition for providing differentiated services (service-based competition), whereas dynamic efficiency concerns the maximization of social welfare by incentivizing investments in competitive infrastructures (facilities-based competition). It is thus obvious that the role of regulators is to facilitate the gradual transition from static to dynamic efficiency by influencing the investment and competition outcomes through the regulation of the access price. Therefore, there is an interplay between regulatory policy and technological development which leads to rapidly changing market structures and industry performance. 327 pp. LOMv1.0 creator LOMv1.0 Scientific Coordinator LOMv1.0 Project Executing Organisation 2013-09 Digital Library of the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning" abstract types Text Access regulation Dynamic efficiency Investment incentives Next generation access (NGA) networks Static efficiency 5268274 application/pdf http://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/3216/2/3216_1.46_%ce%94%ce%94_30_9_13.pdf περιλαμβάνεται ελληνική περίληψη URI http://hdl.handle.net/10795/3216 LOMv1.0creator 2016-05-18T11:06:54Z LOMv1.0validator 2016-05-18T11:06:54Z LOMv1.0 gre no no Copyright EYD-EPEDBM (Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning")
