On government regulation failure in natural monopoly industries in China

政府规制是政府对市场失灵最通常的回应,其目的是通过采取规制手段来解决市场失灵现象。但理论和实践证明,政府也会由于自己的缺陷而产生失误,即"政府失灵"。本文以自然垄断与政府规制的相关性分析为基础,着重分析了政府规制在自然垄断行业中失灵的表现及原因,并据此提出了纠正政府规制失灵的政策建议。

Some manifestations and causes of governmental failure in natural monopoly industries were analyzed in depth and then the countermeasures to government failure were proposed.
