This book is based on a conference on `Regulation and the

Evolving Nature of Postal and Delivery Services: 1992 and Beyond' held

at Village PTT, La Londe les Maures, France, on March 18, 1992.

Leading practitioners, worldwide postal administrations, and the

express delivery industry, as well as a number of regulators, academic

economists, and lawyers examine the important policy and regulatory

issues facing the postal and delivery industries. This includes such

issues as: international postal policy and 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 costs

analysis in postal service; productivity; and service standards.
