Research Abstract

This study investigated theoretically and empirically the regulatory reform in the telecommunications industry by using behavioral economics approach. The price structure is calculated such that the price-cost margin is higher for NTT's relatively advantageous fixed-line Internet service and lower for NTT's relatively disadvantageous mobile phone service, both of which have the largest market shares in their respective markets.
