Technical References
Many excellent economic texts on utility regulation are too technical for the non-economist reader. The authors have tried to avoid these texts as much as possible, although some of the readings do contain technical equations and discussion. Such references were included only when less technical, high quality references could not be found on the given topic. Below are listed some technical economics texts that might be useful for readers who wish to do further, in-depth study of regulatory economics.
