ABSTRACT

Service-based competition policy is the policy that promotes competition at the service level by letting the existing operators provide their facilities for the new operators at the regulated access fees. While service-based competition enables quick introduction and diffusion of competition, there is a criticism that such effect is limited and incentives for facility investment may be affected. The existing empirical studies are in disagreement over the effect of service-based competition policy. This paper conducts a new empirical analysis making use of data and methodology that are distinguished from the existing works. From the analysis with data on EC countries, we could find the effect of the policy contributing to the growth and the investment increase of new operators while the effect of deterring the investment incentives of the existing operators is not clear.
