Abstract: | A vertically integrated firm owns an essential input, operating on the downstream (here as: d-s.) market. There is a potential entrant in the d-s. market. The same essential input is used by both firms. The regulator aims at i. to ensure financing of the essential input and ii. to generate competition in the d-s. market. The optimal mechanism generates inefficient entry which captures the trade-off btw. market efficiency and infrastructure financing resulting from incomplete information and non-discriminatory access. |
