討論提要	The major object of this study is the effect of regulations controlling the level of transportation cost absorption. Given that welfare is maximized at zero absorption and firm profit is maximized at spatial price discrimination, it is curious that regulations commonly require that the monopolist set uniform delivered price.
結論	Regulations often require that local public utilities engage in high rates of freight absorption. These regulations are shown to arise logically as a consequence of self-interest voting behavior. Consumer may change their delivered price by voting to require a rate of freight absorption Voting outcomes under a median voter model predict the high rate of freight absorption often observed in practice
延伸研究	This tool provided by this paper is immediately applicable to many issues.
