| 520 | |a It is common to assert that utility investors are compensated in the allowed rate of return for the risk of large disallowances, such as arise for investments found imprudent or not ̀used and useful'.

The book uses the new theory of regulatory risk to understand recent developments in the risk of natural gas pipelines and other regulated industries. | ||
