The cost of quality of service improvement in electricity distribution in Burundi: a parametric shadow price approach.
Nsabimana, René; Gautier, Axel; Nsabimana, Salomon et al.
2021
The quality of service (QoS) in the sector is of paramount importance to the industry, to customers and to the regulator. It is measured by the duration and frequency of electricity interruptions and their consequences. QoS is used in the comparison of decision-making units that use the same inputs and outputs. Improving the QoS in the electricity sector cannot be achieved without costs. In this paper, we estimate the cost of preventing losses due to electricity interruption at REGIDESO, a vertically and horizontally integrated company in Burundi.We use a parametric output distance function approach, assuming that the utility's objective is to increase the number of customers and the amount of electricity delivered. Electricity losses enter the production process as inputs, imperfect substitutes for capital, with the causes of electricity outages being related to, for example, low generation capacity. We identify the sources of inefficiency and the trade-off between poor QoS and capital. We use a dataset of 19 districts located in 5 regions under the responsibility of REGIDESO, for the period 2014 to 2017. The estimation of the multi-input and multi-output translog model shows that the cost of preventing one MWh of losses due to power interruption is US$55.37. The marginal cost of quality tends to be higher in Bujumbura than in other regions.

La fin de l’Internet neutre
Gautier, Axel
2018
Le paysage de l’Internet est en train de se transformer radicalement aux États-Unis. Deux décisions récentes vont modifier en profondeur la manière dont les fournisseurs d’accès à Internet (ci-après FAI, tel que Proximus) et les fournisseurs de contenu (tel que YouTube) interagissent. Le 11 juin, le régulateur américain des télécoms (FCC) a édicté de nouvelles règles concernant la neutralité du net. Alors que l’Open Internet Order de 2015 et abrogé en décembre réaffirmait le principe de neutralité du net et limitait sévèrement les pratiques des FAI, les nouvelles règles parues le 11 juin (ou plutôt l’absence de règles) permettent aux FAI de faire plus ou moins ce qu’ils veulent sous la seule obligation de transparence. La même semaine, la justice américaine validait la fusion entre AT&T (un des plus importants FAI américain) et Time Warner (fournisseur de contenu), alors que continue la bataille entre Disney et le FAI Comcast pour le rachat de la Fox. A travers ces fusions, on assiste à une intégration des FAI et des fournisseurs de contenu. Dans ce focus, je reviens sur les implications de la neutralité du net.

A multi-agent system approach to model the interaction between distributed generation deployment and the grid
Manuel de Villena Millan, Miguel; Gautier, Axel; Fonteneau, Raphaël et al.
2018In Proc. of CIRED Workshop 2018
This paper introduces a multi-agent dynamical system of the interaction between electricity consumers, the electricity distribution system operator, and the technological (generation, storage) and regulatory (tariff design, incentive schemes) environments. For any type of environment, our dynamical system simulates the evolution of the deployment of distributed electricity generation, as well as the evolution of the cost of distribution. The system relies on the assumption that individual electricity consumers behave statistically as rational agents, who may invest in optimised distributed renewable energy installations, if they are cost-efficient compared to the retail electricity tariff. The deployment of these installations induces a change in the aggregated net consumption and generation of the users of a distribution network. By modelling the cost recovery mechanism of the distribution system operator, the system simulates the evolution of the retail electricity tariff in response to such a change in the aggregated consumption and production.

Transition énergétique: Repenser le rôle des consommateurs et du réseau
Gautier, Axel
2018
La transition énergétique amène de nouvelles manières de produire, consommer, stocker et échanger l’énergie. Ces nouvelles habitudes modifient fondamentalement le rôle du réseau. Le réseau de distribution est amené à fournir de nouveaux services aux acteurs du marché. La présentation fera le point sur les nouveaux comportements observés dans le cadre de la transition énergétique (auto consommation, production décentralisée, économies d’énergie, etc.) et sur les moyens de les encourager. Elle se poursuivra avec une réflexion sur la tarification des réseaux et la présentation d’un simulateur tarifaire.

Exploring Regulation Policies in Distribution Networks through a Multi-Agent Simulator
Manuel de Villena Millan, Miguel; Fonteneau, Raphaël; Gautier, Axel et al.
2018In Proceedings of YRS2018
This paper presents a multi-agent simulator that describes the interactions between the agents of a distribution network (DN), and an environment. The agents are the users of the DN and the electricity distribution system operator. The environment is the set of rules (tariff design, technology costs, or incentive schemes) that impacts the agents interactions. For a given environment, we can simulate the evolution of the agents and the environment itself. We assume the electricity consumers are rational agents that may deploy distributed renewable energy installations if they are cost-efficient compared to the retail electricity tariff. The deployment of such installations may alter the cost recovery scheme of the distribution system operator, by inducing a change in the way the user use of the grid. By modelling the cost recovery mechanism of the distribution system operator, the system simulates the evolution of the retail electricity tariff in response to such a change in the aggregated consumption and production.

La semaine dernière, la presse faisait écho du projet de la SNCB d'introduire des tarifs plus élevés pour les voyages effectués à l'heure de pointe. Concrètement, celui qui prendrait le train dans les tranches 6h-9h et 15h-18h paierait un supplément. La SNCB motive son projet par le fait que le prix actuel est un des plus faible d'Europe. La proposition a –comme on s'en doute- reçu un accueil glacial de la part des usagers du rail. Dans ce focus de Regards économiques, Axel Gautier livre les réflexions d'un économiste (qui est aussi navetteur) à propos de ce projet de la SNCB.

201418th Centre for Competition and Regulatory Policy (CCRP) Workshop
We examine the incentives of an internet service provider (ISP) to break net neutrality by excluding internet applications competing with its own products, a typical example being the exclusion of VoIP applications by a telecom company offering internet and voice services. We show that exclusion is not a concern when the ISP is a monopoly because it can extract the additional surplus created by the application through price rebalancing. By contrast, when ISP’s compete, in an attempt to differentiate, only one ISP will offer the app. Applying a no-exclusion rule in this case can lead to monopoly.

We examine the incentives of an internet service provider (ISP) to break net neutrality by excluding internet applications competing with its own products, a typical example being the exclusion of VoIP applications by a telecom company offering internet and voice services. We show that exclusion is not a concern when the ISP is a monopoly because it can extract the additional surplus created by the application through price rebalancing. By contrast, when ISP’s compete, in an attempt to differentiate, only one ISP will offer the app. Applying a no-exclusion rule in this case can lead to monopoly.

Quelle croissance en termes de valeur ajoutée et d'emploi resterait-il à l'économie non financière wallonne sans une poignée d'entreprises en plein essor? Quelle durabilité une entreprise peut-elle espérer dans le temps pour son état de forte croissance? Comment évoluent les entreprises au sortir d'une période de plein essor? Enfin, comment les entreprises qui ont connu une forte croissance se sont-elles relevées de la crise économique de 2009, par comparaison avec le reste de l'économie?

Regulation covers all the ways in which, in our markets-based economies, the public sector influences, constrains, dictates or coordinates private activities for the common good. This session will deal with the question of institutional design and the role of politics in determining regulatory performance in Belgium. These themes will be explored through concrete examples of regulatory failures and successes, with an eye towards generating general principles and guidelines for improving regulatory designs.

Reforming the Postal Universal Service
Gautier, Axel; Poudou, Jean-Christophe
2013EARIE
The postal sector has undergone dramatic changes over the recent years under the double effect of ongoing liberalization and increased competition with alternative communication channels (e-substitution). As a result, the mail volume handled by the historical operator has declined sharply while the latter's ability to match the same standard of universal service may be under threat. Thus, a reform of the postal universal service is on the agenda. This paper examines possible reforming options ranging from keeping universal service within the postal sector to redefining universal service as spanning postal and electronic technologies.

Reforming the Postal Universal Service
Gautier, Axel; Poudou, Jean-Christophe
20127th Postal conference on the economics of the postal sector in a digital world
The postal sector has dramatically changed in the recent years with the ongoing liberalization process and the increased competitive pressures from alternative communication channels (e-substitution). These two effects concur to decrease the mail volume handled by the historical operator which in turn may threaten the financial viability of the universal service and may call for a reform of the universal service. This paper examines the question of reforming the postal universal service, first by considering that the universal service remains confined in the postal word and, latter, by defining a universal service that includes postal and electronic technologies.

Strategic Bypass Deterrence
Bloch, Francis; Gautier, Axel
2012The 10th annual International Industrial Organization Conference
In liberalized network industries, entrants can either compete for service using the existing infrastructure (access) or deploy their own infrastructure capacity (bypass). In this paper, we demonstrate that, under the threat of bypass, the access price set by an unregulated and vertically integrated incumbent is compatible with productive efficiency. This means that the entrant bypasses the existing infrastructure only if it can produces the network input more efficiently. The incumbent lowers the access price compared to the ex-post efficient level to strategically deter inefficient bypass by the entrant. Accordingly, from a productive efficiency point of view, there is no need to regulate access prices when the entrant has the option to bypass. Despite that, we show that restricting the possibilities of access might be profitable for consumers.

L’un des maux endémiques de l’économie belge tient aux pressions concurrentielles insuffisantes sur de nombreux marchés de produits. Faute d’un cadre de surveillance effectif, les prix des biens et services demeurent – comme le décrivent maintes études – plus élevés que dans d'autres États membres, et ce spécialement dans le secteur de la vente au détail et dans les industries de réseaux (énergie, télécommunications, transport ferroviaire, etc.).

Industrial Policy and Competition Enforcement: Is There, Could There and Should There Be a Nexus?
Petit, Nicolas; Neyrinck, Norman
20122012 GCLC Annual Conference, 8-9 November 2012, Residence Palace, Brussels
This paper muses on whether there can be, there is, and there should exist a nexus between European Union (“EU”) competition law and industrial policy. A well-known, long lasting grievance in the history of EU competition law is indeed that the European Commission (“the Commission”) has allegedly enforced the competition rules dogmatically, and turned a blind eye on industrial policy considerations. Lately, this policy debate has revived. With the current economic debacle in the Western world, decades of free-market economic policies – including competition policies – inherited from the so-called “Washington consensus” are called into question. In contrast, thriving economic models like Brazil, China, or India where the State interferes with the market at the expense of free competition, are increasingly looked by the “old world” as a possible source of inspiration. Those new developments justify devoting another paper to the question whether industrial policy considerations could and should inform EU competition enforcement. To address it, we follow a four steps methodology. We first solve definitional issues by describing the various possible meanings of “industrial policy” (I). Second, we follow a legalistic approach to review whether such considerations can, as a matter of positive law, play a role (II). Third, we turn to empirical analysis, to examine if there has been some industrial policy influence in the Commission’s case-law (III). Fourth, we review consequentialist arguments to assess whether industrial policy considerations should play a stronger role in EU competition enforcement (IV).

Soft Capture
Gautier, Axel
2010
Capture of regulatory agencies by firms or other stakeholders has given rise to a rich literature, much of which is dominated by models in which the motivation for the welfare-reducing behavior is found in side-contracting (bribes, corruption), threats (blackmail, political support) or corresponding mechanisms for repeated games (reputation, career concerns, signaling for promotion). Notwithstanding, the empirical support for monetary corruption and 'revolving doors' is scarce and inconclusive. We propose an alternative and more intuitive model for regulatory capture that is based on information transmission and asymmetric information. In a three-tier model, a regulator is charged by a political principal to provide a signal for the type of a regulated firm. Only the firm can observe his type and the production of a correlated signal with a given accuracy is costly for the regulator. The firm can costlessly provide an alternative signal of lower accuracy that is presented to the regulator. In a self-enforcing equilibrium, the regulator transmits the firm-produced signal, internalizes its own savings in information cost and the firm enjoys higher information rents. The main feature of soft capture is that it is not based on a reciprocity of favors but on a congruence of interests between the firm and the regulator.

Price Competition under Universal Service Obligations
Gautier, Axel
201037th EARIE Conference
In industries like telecom, postal services or energy provision, universal service obligations (uniform price and universal coverage) are often imposed on one market participant. Universal service obligations are likely to alter firms' strategic behavior in such competitive markets. In this paper we show that, depending on the entrant's market coverage and the degree of product differentiation, the Nash equilibrium in prices involves either pure or mixed strategies. We show that the pure strategy market sharing equilibrium, as identified by Valletti et al. (2002) defines a lower bound on the level of equilibrium prices.

Contract renewal as an incentive device: An application to the French urban transport sector
Gautier, Axel
20101st International conference on Economics and Management of Public Utilities
In the French urban public transport industry, operations are often delegated and periodically putted out forto tender. Thus, operators’ incentives to reduce costs come from both profit maximization during the current contract and from the perspective of contract renewal. We have constructed a dynamic incentive regulation model that captures these features and we show that both the level of cost-reducing effort and its repartition during the contracting period depend on the contract type (cost-plus, gross cost or net cost contract). We then estimated a cost frontier model for an eight-year panel of French bus companies (677 company-year observations) to test our predictions.

Scoring-rule and the choice of a contractor by a financially constrained government
Gautier, Axel
2010International conference on "contracts, procurement and public-private agreements'
Governments and public authorities are increasingly relying on Public-Private Partnerships for the provision of public goods and services. It is often argued that the use of a public private partnership can relieve the government from a strained budget constraint and, in this paper, we analyze the choice of a contractual solution for designing, constructing and managing a project, with observable externalities, by a budget-constrained government. We show that the quality of the project and the designed contractor are affected by the extent of the budget constraint and we show that the use of a PPP may partially overcome the resulting inefficiencies.

Efficient access pricing and endogenous market structure
Gautier, Axel
2010Workshop on effective competition in network industries
We investigate how a regulatory mechanism can influence the nature of competition in a network industry. In the downstream market, the seller of a differentiated retail product competes with an incumbent firm. The incumbent firm is also the owner of the essential input. The regulator may or may not observe the cost of the entrant. To maximize social welfare the regulator specifies the access charge that the entrant must pay to the incumbent, and the retail prices. The optimal access charge is a uniform price that respects the criteria of transparency and non-discrimination that are imposed by the competition and regulation directives in most countries. We derive new formulas for retail and access prices adhering to the traditional Ramsey rule. Since the competing firm takes the decision to enter following the choice of the regulatory regime, the nature of the retail market competition is endogenous

Universal service financing in competitive postal markets: One size does not fit all
Gautier, Axel; Paolini, Dimitri
20106th conference on 'Regulation, Competition and Universal Service in the Postal Sector'
In the postal sector, the financial burden of the universal service depends on its content, the postal market characteristics and the country’s geographical configuration. These three groups of factors affect both the direct cost of providing the service and the extent of competition on the market. In this paper, we consider countries with different geographical characteristics and we show that the choice of an appropriate mechanism to share the burden of universal service between market participants depends on the country configuration. Thus, for universal service financing, one size does not fit all.

Enquêtes sectorielles: complément ou substitut de l'action des autorités de concurrence? Le "couteau suisse" du droit européen de la concurrence?
Petit, Nicolas; Lousberg, Charlotte
2010In Concurrences : Revue des Droits de la Concurrence, (2), p. 19-28
La présente étude s’intéresse à la question de savoir si les enquêtes sectorielles sont susceptibles de constituer un substitut ou un complément de la mise en oeuvre des règles de concurrence par la Commission européenne. Les résultats atteints donnent à penser que, ni substitut, ni complément, l’enquête sectorielle est, ou pourrait être, le “couteau suisse” du droit européen de la concurrence, c’est-à-dire un instrument multifonctionnel, agissant comme (i) un mécanisme de réduction du seuil procédural d’intervention de la Commission ; (ii) un dispositif d’extension du champ matériel d’investigation de la Commission ; et (iii) un outil de correction spontanée des restrictions de concurrence. A la lumière de ces propos, l’étude formule quelques propositions de “bonnes pratiques” en matière d’enquêtes sectorielles à destination de la Commission (mais aussi d’autres autorités de contrôle disposant de pouvoirs d’enquêtes analogues)
