中国基础领域反垄断与弱势群体福利变迁

Antimonopoly in China's Infrastructure Industries and Protection of Vulnerable Groups

本文从宏观和微观两个层面分析了中国基础领域放松规制的趋势与弱势群体福利变迁之间的联系。基本观点是:民资参与基础领域对弱势群体福利的总体效应不明确,但蕴含着侵害弱势群体福利的风险。反垄断、放松规制和民资参与中国基础设施服务是改革的方向,但这样的改革必须以政府完善的规制体系为前提。公共决策者要独立、公正地设计出精巧的机制,寻求放松规制与普遍服务之间的平衡。

In recent years, there is a trend of private participation in China's infrastructure industries. The paper analyses the links between the private participation in infrastructure industries and the change of welfare of vulnerable groups. The paper points out that , under certain restraints,as far as a large developing country just like China is concerned, the optimal solution to a good design of pro-poor regulation must be one that can not only stimulate private participation in infrastructure industries, and increase the aggregate supply,but also guarantee vulnerable groups to share the advantages of growth.
