Our expert economists assist governments and regulatory agencies considering public policy intervention or market reform, helping them carefully analyze the markets concerned to determine whether intervention is appropriate (for example, if there is a form of market failure), what intervention will be appropriate (typically the minimum necessary to address the market failure), and the likely impact of different forms of proposed intervention. In network utility sectors that exhibit natural monopoly characteristics economic regulation is an on-going process, based on economic incentive frameworks set for fixed periods of time.
