Defining The Public Interest In Regulatory Decisions

Description

Conference Call with Jeffrey Church, Professor of Economics, Department of Economics, University of Calgary

Canada’s public utility regulators – those responsible for prices and entry permits in electricity transmission, telecommunications and petroleum pipelines, among others – are under mounting public and judicial attack. Join us to learn how many of the concerns regarding regulatory decisions would vanish, or be minimized, if governments clearly articulated in law that regulators should base their decisions solely on economic efficiency grounds.

Inside Access is an exclusive, members-only opportunity:

  • 30 minute briefing and Q&A on Institute papers
  • A quick and convenient way to understand why our research is relevant to you, your organization, and the broader economy
  • Free as a member benefit

To register for this call, please contact Allie Kehoe at akehoe@cdhowe.org or 416-800-0476.
