We use a lab experiment to study whether a specific government regulation can promote competition in regional markets. The question is motivated with an empirical observation that local monopolies are widespread, i.e. firms successfully coordinate on which markets to enter. We hypothesize that firms' heterogeneity in costs serve as a coordination design in the underlying entry game. If this is the case, then reducing such a heterogeneity would lead to more competition. A lab experiment is explicitly designed to test this.
