Ein geeigneter wettbewerblicher Rahmen für
die deutsche Wasserwirtschaft
Abstract
The question no longer is if more competition should be introduced
in the German water and
sewerage sector. The issue rather is what kind of competition ought
to be implemented. There are mainly three different approaches:
Competition in the Market; Competition for the Market and the introduction
of a system of comparative efficiency. None of these approaches
seem to solely fit for the fragmented structure of the German market.
Therefore it is suggested to choose different regulatory approaches
depending on the size of the company. Whereas incentives should
be created for smaller companies to merge the big ones should already
start with a system of comparative efficiency. In the longer run
the merged companies also ought to integrate into this regulatory
system.
Keywords: Water, Sewerage, Comparative Efficiency, Germany, Regulation.
