| Research Abstract |
First, the system of the provision of municipal water through the market mechanism including some forms of "privatizations" is considered in the view of the normative aspects of resource allocation and welfare under the uncertainty of water quality. A regulator of municipal water provision should control municipal water supplier by means of some kind of penalties and inspections, which work on the risk attitudes of the supplier and the probabilities of detection under informational asymmetry. Second, we examine the welfare effects and their measurement of social overhead capital on a household. We show the welfare evaluation model for vulnerability that household face, and the welfare measure of vulnerability is developed especially in the view of theoretically appropriateness of welfare measure. A preliminary inspections about municipal water show the validity of the application of the model.
