DENNIS WEISMAN
Professor of economics

 

Dennis Weisman The telecommunications industry has been a subject of debate regarding its regulations and policies. Dennis Weisman, professor of economics at Kansas State University, is a leading expert on these issues, including those stemming from the 1996 Telecommunications Act.

He also has published papers on subjects as diverse as the regulation of industries and vertical integration.

A former director of strategic marketing for SBC Communications, and a research fellow with the Public Utility Research Center at the University of Florida, Weisman has more than 20 years of experience in the areas of regulation and business strategy development.

He has testified in numerous regulatory proceedings about the economic and social impacts of regulatory policies and has served as an adviser to telecommunications firms, electric power companies, and regulatory commissions on economic pricing principles, the design of incentive regulation plans, and competition policies. His primary research interests are in strategic behavior and government regulation.

The author or co-author of more than 80 publications, Weisman's work has appeared in the Antitrust Bulletin, the Yale Journal on Regulation, the Federal Communications Law Journal and others. He is the co-author of "Designing Incentive Regulation for the Telecommunications Industry," published by the MIT Press and the AEI Press in 1996, and "The Telecommunications Act of 1996: The 'Costs' of Managed Competition," published by Kluwer in 2000.

Weisman earned his doctorate in economics from the University of Florida. He received his bachelor's degree in math and economics, as well as his master's in economics, from the University of Colorado.
