The Political Economy of International Regulatory Convergence in Public Utilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
La verificación de la convergencia o no de regulaciones y leyes nacionales en el contexto de la globalización internacional, y la evaluación de este proceso, han sido objeto de una vasta literatura. Sin embargo, la aplicación específica a la regulación de servicios públicos ha recibido poca atención. Este documento propone un modelo simple que captura los elementos centrales de los servicios públicos (autoridades independientes, competencia entre grupos de interés) y estudia (1) si la convergencia regulatoria es probable, y (2) los resultados que podrían esperarse en países que han imitado a otros (seguidores) y en aquéllos que no lo hicieron. A tal fin nos apoyamos en una proposición central de la Nueva Economía Institucional según la cual regulaciones similares generan resultados muy distintos dependiendo de su correspondencia o ajuste con las institucional domésticas subyacentes, e ilustramos nuestros resultados centrales observando la difusión de la regulación de “separación del bucle local” (LLU) en telecomunicaciones.
