Hosted By: the Center for Research in Regulated Industries at Rutgers University
The Center for Research in Regulated Industries at Rutgers University held this annual conference in Porvoo, Finland on 2-5 June 2010 to address postal economics and postal policy. Two NERA experts presented papers as part of the conference. NERA Associate Director Stuart Holder gave a joint presentation with Rob Sheldon, Managing Director of Accent, entitled "The Value of Post Offices: How to Define the Question, Estimate the Answer, and Interpret the Results." The paper summarizes the evidence from previous studies of the value to consumers of post offices, and considers the implications of the results from four different studies carried out jointly by NERA and Accent for the UK postal regulator, Postcomm. NERA Consultant Francesca Mazzarella, along with Vincenzo Visco Comandini, Professor at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, presented a paper entitled "Competition and Regulation in the Italian Postal Market," which provides a basic overview of the Italian postal market at the starting gate of its full liberalization and suggests a reform of USO financing.
