We provide evidence of an inherent trade-off between access regulation and investment incentives in telecommunications by using a comprehensive data set covering 70+ fixed-line operators in 20 countries over 10 years. Our econometric model accommodates: different investment incentives for incumbents and entrants; a strategic interaction of entrants' and incumbents' investments; and endogenous regulation. We find access regulation to negatively affect both total industry and individual carrier investment. Thus promoting market entry by means of regulated access undermines incentives to invest in facilities-based competition. Moreover, we find evidence of a regulatory commitment problem: higher incumbents' investments encourage provision of regulated access.

The most widely used indicator to measure the degree of innovation of an industry is each individual company's actual expenses on research and development (R&D), aggregated across the whole industrial sector. With the ESMT Innovation Index 2010 – Electricity Supply Industry, we suggest expanding the notion of innovation beyond R&D indicators to achievements in productivity and sustainability. We test the methodology of the innovation index with a set of 15 large European electricity utilities and find that innovation activities have substantially increased over the last four years. A German and a French utility, RWE and EDF, lead the ranking within our sample.
