Executive summary
Közzétételi metaadat
Professional business services markets are subject to various forms of regulation which are purportedly unavoidable due to particular features of these markets, which are claimed to lead to ineffective competition and undesirable market outcomes. There is, nonetheless, significant debate in the theoretical and empirical literature about the motivations and effects of professional business services markets regulation. The aim of the study is to contribute to the theoretical understanding and empirical evidence base of the competitive situation and economic outcomes in the professional business services markets. This study develops a theoretical framework on the basis of which to consider (a) the features that are relevant to professional business services which prevent effective competition from developing and in what way, (b) how ineffective competition interacts with, and causes, undesirable market outcomes, (c) how far market-based mechanisms can work to restore effective competition and prevent negative market outcomes and (d) what is the role for the various types of professional regulation in these markets. A survey across 10 EU countries involving 4,000 respondents, including providers and business users of engineering and accounting services was utilised to test some of the theoretical predictions. The survey results provide support for a large subset of the elements of the theoretical framework.
