“…The purpose of this paper is to draw up the first overview of the market by considering prices and frequencies after one year of competition. To our knowledge, no study has been yet been carried out on the new French case and it appears pertinent to compare this situation to other markets already opened to competition, like in Italy (Bergantino et al, 2015;Beria et al, 2016;Desmaris and Croccolo, 2018;Beria et al, 2019;Beria et al, 2022), the Czech Republic (Tomes et al, 2016;Tomes et al, 2018;Jandova and Paleta, 2019;Fitzova et al, 2021;Tomes, 2022), Sweden (Alexandersson and Rigas, 2013;Froidh and Nelldal, 2015;Vigren, 2017), the UK (Temple, 2015) and, more recently, Spain (Montero and Melero, 2022). There are several reasons for carrying out a specific analysis of the French case in the literature.…”
