Régulation et mode de gestion : une étude économétrique sur les prix et la performance

We model the interactions between the management mode and costs of water services in order to compare their performances and pricing. We estimate those models on French panel data. We find that the choice by the local authority depends on the service costs and characteristics. There is no difference of productive efficiency but of network performance. Margins are explained by service and contract (delegated management) characteristics.
