"Risk and Return for Regulated Industries is a must-read for anyone analyzing or working in regulatory finance. The authors’ treatment of the subject matter is both comprehensive and accessible."--John Graham, Duke University

"Every practitioner in this field will find this book an invaluable reference for its up-to-date explanations of rate of return theory and practice. Its discussion and insights into rate regulation in the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, along with its discussion of the cost of capital for MLPs and REITs, are particularly relevant in view of the dramatic changes facing the electric industry and the regulators’ drive to change how utilities are incented, and how they make money."--Richard Patterson, Pacific Gas and Electric Company

"This authoritative work comes at a critical time in utility regulation. Rapid changes in technology, markets, and politics are affecting utilities’ ability to raise capital. Continued efficient investment is possible only if utility regulators understand utility finance." --Mark A. Jamison, University of Florida

"This volume enables us to use cross-comparisons to provide greater insight into rate and risk issues of our own industries. I look forward to using it to probe financing issues of the water and civil infrastructure sectors."--Neil S. Grigg, Colorado State University

"Risk and Return for Regulated Industries provides comprehensive coverage of the models and methods used for one of the most difficult steps in the determination of government-regulated prices: the estimation of cost of capital. The text is well-grounded in finance theory, but its strength is the focus on practical application of these estimation methods and the international examples from which we all may learn." --Larry Blank, New Mexico State University
