Theme:

Transactions in infrastructures used to be centrally coordinated by ministries and vertically integrated state owned firms. Liberalisation and privatisation created markets and fundamentally changed the modes of governance of the transactions with the aim to increase efficiency. To safeguard the public interest the coordination of core transactions in critical infrastructures are regulated, or the property as well as the decision rights are in public hands.

What has been the performance of the markets with respect to the technological integrity of the systems (unbundling and segmentation have implications for the technological performance of the system), the economics (the allocative as well as the dynamic efficiencies) and last but not least the social impact (universal service, security of supply, labour conditions)?

The symposium is supported by Next Generation Infrastructures (Delft University of Technology), the section Economics of Infrastructures of Delft University of Technology, Faculty Technology, Policy and Management and PRESOM ( Privatisation and the European Social Model).
