Early work was addressed to the need for reform in several areas of the regulated sector of the United States economy. The principal contributions of this work were to show how decisions regarding industry structure
and pricing should be co-ordinated. Several of the articles are designed to show the economic theory behind this idea, and in some cases the methodology has been applied.
The Regulation Game shows how firms can circumvent the intent of regulation, and is in part written as a ‘How To’ manual based on observed or strongly possible strategies that firms may employ in the face of regulatory restraint. Other articles in part reflect a rather extensive effort to investigate the empirical properties of the cost characteristics of regulated firms in the railroad industry, and demonstrate how standard econometric methodology can be combined with information about engineering process functions to yield a better understanding of the nature of underlying technology. In recent years the research has also focussed on law and economics to an increasing extent.
The major thread of the research remains the effects of regulation on the allocation of economic resources, and on alternative schemes for improving economic efficiency with better pricing schemes and entry policies, particularly in telecommunications, transportation, and energy.
