This would cover some of the main concepts of incentive regulation, and look at the results of its use in Electricity and Water distribution in selected countries in eastern Europe (Moldova is often held as a key example for this) and Kazakhstan. Interest on the latter case study would be in dealing with information issues and low efficiency levels and re-balancing of prices.

A financial model would be used as an example Indian utility to look at the impact of choosing different forms of price control, all of which would be based on information available to regulators in the present Indian context.
