Using tools of modern industrial economics Urs Meister examines the effects of privatisation and competition in the piped water industry. Considering the two main approaches for competition in an industry with natural monopoly character, common carriage (interconnection) and franchise bidding (auctions), he analyses costs, retail prices and investment. Such analysis shows that competition may be a valuable opportunity to improve the efficiency of water supply.
Dr. Urs Meister promovierte bei Prof. Dr. Egon Franck am Lehrstuhl für Unternehmensführung und -politik der Universität Zürich. Er ist Mitarbeiter bei der internationalen Strategieberatungsunternehmung Arthur D. Little (Schweiz) AG.
