垄断、弹性缺乏与基础设施市场化改革的风险

由于基础设施行业具有自然垄断与弹性缺乏的特性,企业只需要提高价格就能获得丰厚利润,而不是改进效率,这可能使基础设施市场化改革既不能提高效率,也不利于社会公平。为了防止这种风险,必须明确政府的监督职责,增加公众的参与程度,使市场化改革真正有利于提高公众的福利。

Natural monopoly and lacking flexibility are two character of infrastructure,infrastructure firms could make profits only by raising prices,not by improving the efficiency.So market-oriented reform may not improve efficiency,but undermine social justice.So government's oversight responsibilities must be emphasized.
