La regulación de Uber en la Ciudad de México, la ganancia de los consumidores y el problema público de lamovilidad

The arrival of Uber in Mexico City was controversial for users and suppliers in the passenger transportation market. After several months of demonstrations, road blockades and negotiations, based on Mexico City's Mobility Law, the city government regulated Uber services, incorporating them into the market as another transportation option for residents. The paper presents two conclusions with this change in regulation from the perspective of the Economic Analysis of Law and following the Public Policy Process: there is a gain in the welfare of users derived from the new regulation that allows the operation of companies such as Uber; and the oligopolistic concentration of the cab market in Mexico City could facilitate the acceptance of this change in regulation.
