*********Second Reminder******Apologies for cross-posting********************** Dear Colleagues, This is the second reminder of the call for papers for City University's Centre for Competition and Regulatory Policy Summer Workshop, which will take place at City University, London, on Thursday 8th July through Friday 9th July 2010. We would like to invite you to submit an extended abstract of a paper or work-in-progress (2-4 pages).The areas to be covered in the workshop will include the following: * Economic Regulation of Infrastructure Industries (including for example: Telecoms, Electricity, Water and other infrastructure industries such as airports, postal services, etc) * General, Legal and Industry/Market specific Competition Policy Issues * Economic Regulation of Financial Services and Similar, including economic regulation of Quasi-Markets (e.g. Health, Education and other public services) * Boundaries and overlaps between Economic Regulation and Competition Policy for Utilities and Networks, Financial Services, Quasi-Markets, etc. We welcome both theoretical and empirical papers, including case study oriented work. As this is a workshop, we are very happy to accept abstracts of work which will not be at the "full paper stage" by the time of the workshop - for planning purposes only please do make this clear at submission. For this conference we would particularly welcome papers, firstly, on water and related environmental issues; and, secondly, on competition issues in health services. If there are sufficient papers on either or both, we will run dedicated sessions or a half-day. This would follow the very successful water half-day at the summer 2009 Workshop at Aston.
