Abstract

This article studies the design of optimal mechanisms to regulate entry in
natural oligopoly markets, assuming the regulator is unable to control the behavior
of firms once they are in the market. We adapt the Clarke–Groves mechanism,
characterize the optimal mechanism that maximizes the weighted sum of expected
social surplus and expected tax revenue, and show that these mechanisms avoid
budget deficits and prevent excessive entry.
