摘要
本文分析了日本移动通信领域的管制改革及其对移动通信市场发展的影响。基于垄断竞争模型的分析表明，移动电话服务商的个数和移动电话服务的边际成本，是影响日本移动通信的需求和价格的关键因素。以移动通信市场自由化为目标的一系列管制改革，刺激了移动通信服务商的增加，降低了移动通信服务商的边际成本，从而促进日本移动电话通信市场的蓬勃发展。基于１９９１—１９９９年期间季度数据的经济计量模型，证实放松电信管制对移动通信服务的价格和需求量都有显著影响。此外，本文还推测了移动电话通信的需求曲线和价格弹性。
This paper analyzes the development of Japan's mobile communica- tion market.Japan's telecommunication deregulation focusing on market liberalization greatly increased the number of mobile phone service providers and reduced the marginal cost of the mobile phone service,fostering the rapid expansion of Japan's mobile com- munication market.Using quarterly data from 1991 to 1999,the paper econometrically examines the significance of Japanese telecommunication deregulation's impact on both the price and the demand of the mobile communication.Moreover,the demand curve of the mobile communication was estimated.The estimated demand function indicates that the demand for mobile communication is highly price elastic.
