Kahn, distinguished economist, educator, and government official, assesses the current status of the public utility deregulation movement in the United States. Professor Kahn is the preeminent authority on that subject–in the 1970s he played a leading role in propelling the forces of competition among the airlines, in surface transportation, and in telecommunications and promulgated the need for marginal cost pricing by the still-regulated “natural monopolies.” Here, the author of the classic two-volume Economics of Regulation focuses on the continuation of releasing competitive forces in the revolutionary deregulation of a large portion of the public utilities industries since 1980. In his incisive analysis, Professor Kahn confronts the tension between Schumpeterian competition and the regulator’s mandate to provide for the prompt dissolution of franchised monopoly. He also addresses charges of opportunistic behavior on the part of both regulators and utility companies in the process of deregulation. Finally, he examines the jurisdictional question of what agency should be responsible for the necessarily continuing task of promoting and preserving efficient competition. Professor Kahn provides several recent, arresting illustrations of the pitfalls of that choice, most notably in California’s electric utility industry. Alfred E. Kahn is the Robert Julius Thorne Professor of Political Economy Emeritus at Cornell University. Recently the author of Letting Go: Deregulating the Process of Deregualtion, he has served as the chairman of the New York State Public Service Commission and of the Civil Aeronautics Board and as adviser to President Jimmy Carter on inflation and as chairman of the Council and Wage and Price Stability.
