This text brings together leading practitioners, world-wide postal administrations and the express industry, as well as a number of regulators, academic economists and lawyers to examine some of the important policy and regulatory issues facing the industry. Issues addressed include: international postal policy, including the role of the Universal Postal Union; regulation and terminal dues; competition, entry and the role of scale and scope economies; the nature and role of cost analysis in postal service; productivity; and service standards. This volume follows two earlier volumes by the same editors, ""Competition and Innovation in Postal Services"" (1991); and ""Regulation and the Nature of Postal and Delivery Services (1992)"".
