Data for: Capital bias in the Nordic revenue cap regulation: Averch-Johnson critique revisited

Numerical simulations Solving the constrained profit maximization problem of the regulated firm and the corresponding unconstrained problems of the unregulated firm and the competitive firm are computationally trivial for modern mathematical programming solvers. To facilitate broader applicability of the numerical simulations reported in this paper among practitioners (including management consultants and regulators), we have set up an Excel spread sheet where the profit maximizing problems of the monopoly solved using the standard Excel solver tool. An Excel file containing the baseline scenario and the results of most alternative scenarios is attached as a supplementary file to this paper.数值模拟 对于现代数学规划求解器而言，求解受规制企业的约束利润最大化问题，以及非受规制企业与竞争性企业对应的无约束利润最大化问题，在计算层面均极为简便。为使本文所述的数值模拟能够在包括管理咨询顾问与监管者在内的从业者群体中得到更广泛的应用，我们搭建了一份Excel电子表格，其中通过标准Excel规划求解（Excel Solver）工具完成了垄断企业的利润最大化问题求解。本文附带了一份包含基准情景及绝大多数备选情景计算结果的Excel文件作为补充材料。
