This edited book, spanning a substantial 130% to 150% more words, presents a comprehensive collection of original essays by renowned researchers and practitioners in the field of postal and delivery economics. Originally presented at the 30th Conference on Postal and Delivery Economics, held in Rimini, Italy, from May 25 to 27, 2022, these essays delve into the core themes of the postal sector's transformation and the impact of vertically integrated firms on delivery markets.

The central foci of the book revolve around the pivotal role of digital platforms in the postal industry and the far-reaching consequences of vertical integration in delivery markets. Other significant topics explored include the regulation of parcels, particularly in the context of the innovations affecting the so-called last mile, and the profound effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the postal sector, both globally and locally. Chapters also address traditional areas of interest within the postal and delivery sectors, such as postal costs, the funding of Universal Service Obligation (USO), and the interplay between Universal Service Providers and postal administrations.

This book serves as an invaluable resource for a wide range of stakeholders, including graduate students and professors seeking to expand their knowledge in postal and regulatory economics. It is also essential for postal administrations, consulting firms, and federal government departments seeking to stay informed about the latest developments and trends in the industry. By presenting a diverse range of perspectives and insights, this book fosters a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics shaping the postal sector and its role in the modern economy.
