摘要: In a liberalized telecommunications market, an incumbent has several advantages over any entrant. An asymmetric access charge regulation for two such firms stimulates competitive investment. We show that entrant with cost disadvantage incentive to invest as leader under regulation. These results fit well the findings of previous empirical work. Moreover, we also investigate effects on investment strategies.
