Abstract
⺠This paper examines retail competition in a liberalized gas market. ⺠Gas is purchased under take-or-pay contracts and resold to final users. ⺠Then, firms select different segments of the market and serve them as monopolists. ⺠The development of wholesale trade induces generalized entry and retail competition. ⺠A compulsory wholesale market or restrictions to linear contracts are required.
