Cost modeling
Industry regulators and competition agencies rely on cost models to determine the economic
cost of services subject to ex-ante price regulation or the object of ex-post antitrust
cases. Bates White professionals combine their knowledge of regulatory and competition
economics with their industry experience to build and audit cost models that calculate
forward-looking economic costs (total and incremental) of providing both individual
services and platform consisting of several network services. Bates White experts apply
cutting-edge empirical techniques and advanced economic theory to address the issues of
forecasting input prices and introduction of new technology, defining and implementing
economic depreciation methodology, allocating common costs, and estimating the cost of
capital. Our clients have included public agencies, incumbent companies and new entrants.
Our work has covered mobile and fixed network; data and voice network services, traditional
and next-generation networks.
