Regulatory economics and accounting


Regulatory economics and accounting

Overview

Extensive regulatory oversight is a key feature of a number of critical sectors such as energy, telecommunications, transport, water, healthcare, financial services and broadcasting. The prevalence of regulatory interventions in these sectors is largely driven by concerns of market failure and for the protection of consumers. These sectors provide important social services or products, and effective regulation is critical to facilitate the achievement of social goals such as access to services and greater affordability.
