Overview

Biography

INGO VOGELSANG has been a RAND consultant since 1987 and a consultant to the ICJ since 2003. He has been a professor of economics at Boston University since 1981. His academic research has focused on regulation and competition in network industries with special emphasis on telecommunications and electricity. His theoretical work on incentive pricing has led to the price cap mechanisms that are applied widely in network industries around the world and in telecommunications regulation in the US by the FCC and most state public utility commissions. Vogelsang has published 16 books and many articles on network industries, and has advised regulators in many countries on these issues. His current work in the area focuses on the conditions under which networks interconnect with each other. Vogelsang is Co-Editor of the Handbook of Telecommunications Economics, an Associate Editor of Information Economics and Policy, and on the Editorial Board of The Journal of Regulatory Economics, the Review of Network Economics, Internmational Economics and Economic Policy, and Netzwirtschaften & Recht. He earned his Doctorate in Political Science from the University of Heidelberg.
