Call for papers: Infrastructure Regulation: What works, Why, and How do we know?
LIRNEasia, in collaboration with the Institute of Water Policy, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Singapore and the University of Hong Kong, is organizing a conference entitled “Infrastructure Regulation: What works, Why, and How do we know?,” 26-27 February, 2009, at the University of Hong Kong.
Sponsored by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the conference will address the following questions: Does regulation work? What kind of regulation works? What kinds don’t work? Why do some forms of regulation work and not others? How do we know whether they work or not? How do we isolate the effects of different political, economic and legal contexts? Are there systematic differences among water, telecommunications, energy and transport infrastructure that necessitate particular regulatory design?
