摘要：

We analyze how network regulation affects investment into network infrastructure and complementary services. While regulation negatively affects investment incentives in the regulated network market, the effects of network regulation on investment in complementary services can be either negative or positive, depending on the relative weight consumers assign to infrastructure versus service quality. We also find constellations where regulation can enhance perceived total quality. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
