Nevenka Horvatin

Nevenka Horvatin, PhD, serves as a Full Professor at the Faculty of Economics, University of Ljubljana, where she is actively engaged in doctoral education as part of both the core teaching staff and external associates. Her primary academic contribution centers on the doctoral program course "Economics and Management of Liberalization and Regulation of Markets," delivered in English or Slovenian.

Professor Horvatin's research specializes in the theoretical and practical dimensions of economic regulation, with emphasis on natural monopoly frameworks, pricing mechanisms (including Ramsey pricing and price-cap regulation), and utility sector liberalization. Her work critically examines regulatory approaches across European Union markets—particularly electricity, gas, telecommunications, and transport—alongside Slovenia-specific implementations, while integrating quality regulation benchmarks and environmental policy considerations. This research bridges normative economic theory with real-world regulatory challenges in transitioning markets.
