Risk and Return for Regulated Industries

Risk and Return for Regulated Industries

By Bente Villadsen, Michael J Vilbert, Dan Harris, and Lawrence Kolbe

Risk and Return for Regulated Industries provides a much-needed, comprehensive review of how cost of capital risk arises and can be measured, how the special risks regulated industries face affect fair return, and the challenges that regulated industries are likely to face in the future. Rather than following the trend of broad industry introductions or textbook style reviews of utility finance, it covers the topics of most interest to regulators, regulated companies, regulatory lawyers, and rate-of-return analysts in all countries.
