Abstract

?In this article, we analyze the optimal market structure in the telecommunications sector within the framework of privatization processes and of liberalization. In many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, telecommunications markets were opened to new operators to introduce competition. The government can control the entry of the new operators by auctioning the right to operate. We explore two possible outcomes of the decision to open the market in this way: monopoly and oligopoly. We highlight the effects of the regulation policies of the two contexts in the absence of and with the presence of corruption on the part of the regulator. We show that increases in social welfare depend on investment decisions, the strength of competition within a given sector, and the cost of public funds.?
