Abstract

[spa] Reglamentaciôn de los monopolios y costo social de los fondos pûblicos por Dominique Bureau . La nueva economia de la reglamentaciôn puso en evidencia el conflicto de objetivos al cual esta confrontado todo responsable de la reglamentaciôn si quiere favorizar la eficacia de un monopolio natural sin concederle rentas excesivas. El arbitraje entre estos dos términos dépende del costo social de los fondos pûblicos que se considéra. La aparente dispersion, en términos de concesiôn de rentas y por lo tanto de poder incitaù'vo, de los mecanismos de regulaciôn utilizados en la prâctica sugiere que este no esta solamente determinado por las distorsiones fiscales. En lo que a ello se refiere, el riesgo de que estas rentas se disipen bajo la forma de una acumulaciôn de capital que desaliente a la competencia potential de los sustitutos no reglamentados podria explicar en ciertos casos la aparente reticencia de los responsables de la reglamentaciôn a concéder rentas. [fre] Réglementation des monopoles et coût social des fonds publics par Dominique Bureau . La nouvelle économie de la réglementation a mis en lumière le conflit d' objectifs auquel fait face tout régulateur s ' il veut favoriser l' efficacité d'un monopole naturel sans lui abandonner de rentes excessives. L'arbitrage entre ces deux termes dépend du coût social des fonds publics retenu. La dispersion apparente, en terme d' abandon de rentes et donc de pouvoir incitatif, des mécanismes de régulation utilisés en pratique suggère que celui-ci ne soit pas seulement déterminé par les distorsions fiscales. À cet égard, le risque que ces rentes soient dissipées sous forme d'accumulation de capital visant à décourager la concurrence potentielle de substituts non réglementés pourrait expliquer dans certains cas la réticence apparente des régulateurs à abandonner des rentes. [eng] Regulating Monopolies and the Social Cost of Public Funds by Dominique Bureau . The new regulatory economy has brought to light the conflicting objectives faced by all regulators endeavouring to promote the efficiency of a natural monopoly without leaving it excessive rents. The arbitration between these two terms depends on the chosen social cost of the public funds. The apparent dispersion of the regulatory mechanisms that are actually used, in terms of rents left and thus of incentive, suggests that this social cost is not determined purely by tax biases. The risk of these rents becoming dissipated in the form of capital accumulation to discourage potential competition from unregulated substitutes could explain why, in some cases, regulators are apparently reluctant to leave rents. [ger] Reglementierung der Monopole und Sozialkosten fur die offentlichen Mittel . von Dominique Bureau . Die neue wirtschaftliche Orientierung bei der Reglementierung hat den Zielkonflikt verdeutlicht, mit dem jede regulierende Behôrde konfrontiert ist, wenn sie die Leistungsfahigkeit eines natiirlichen Monopols fôrdern môchte, ohne ihm uberzogene Renditen zu iiberlassen. Die Arbitration zwischen diesen beiden GrôBen hângt von den Sozialkosten ab, die fur die offentlichen Mittel akzeptiert werden. Hinsichtlich der Ûberlassung von Renditen und somit des Verzichts auf eine Anreizwirkung làBt die offensicMiche Streuung der in der Praxis verwandten Regulierungsmechanismen vermuten, daB dièse Ûberlassung und dieser Verzicht nicht nur durch die Steuerverzerrungen bestimmt sind. In dieser Hinsicht kônnte das Risiko, daB diese Renditen in Form einer Kapitalanhàufung mit dem Ziel vergeudet werden, die môgliche Konkurrenz von nicht reglementierten Substituten zu entmutigen, in manchen Fallen die offenkundige Zuriickhaltung der regulierenden Behôrden gegeniiber der Ûberlassung von Renditen erklaren.
