Infrastructure industries-including
telecommunications, electricity, water, and gas-underwent
massive structural changes in the 1990s. During that decade,
hundreds of privatization transactions valued at billions of
dollars were completed in these sectors in developing and
transition economies. While privatization has received the
most attention, reforms also included market liberalization,
structural changes like unbundling, and the introduction of
new laws and regulations. To date, regulations have received
far less attention than their potential economic effects
warrant, largely due to lack of data. In order to address
this problem, the authors set out to compile a comprehensive
and consistent dataset through an extensive survey of
telecommunications and electricity regulators in developing
countries. The authors describe the surveys and the
resulting database. The database of telecommunications
regulations includes 178 variables on regulatory governance
and content in 45 countries. The database of electricity
regulations includes 374 variables in 20 countries. |
