NERA experts have provided economic advice on a wide range of postal issues for more than a decade. We have an in-depth understanding of postal markets and the key areas involved in regulating and liberalizing those markets, as well as the implications for the universal service obligations and the finances of the postal operator.
NERA's expertise in telecommunications also puts us in a unique position to understand the inter-modal competition between postal services and electronic communications. Our clients include the European Commission, the Postal Services Commission, Postwatch, Royal Mail and postal operators and regulatory bodies across Europe.
Our postal team consists of experienced experts who have:
- published widely on postal economics, including a chapter on market definition in The Liberalization of Postal Services in the European Union (2002);
- been heavily involved in Postcomm price reviews in the United Kingdom;
- contributed presentations or acted as discussant at the 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2006 Conferences on Postal Delivery and Economics; and
- participated in proceedings before the "Competition and Rate Restructuring for Postal Services" in the United States.
