Public Utilities, such as water, electricity, gas and public transportation, are closely related with the people's daily life. The price and the service quality of Public Utilities directly influence the actual benefits of people.The reform of price has been greatly beneficial to the significant development of Public Utilities in Guangdong, while the shortage of supply of water, power and gas, which constantly occurred in the past, already became history. However, with the rapid development of market economy, the demerits of existent administrative system of price gradually restrained the farther progress of Public Utilities in our province. The main problems on the formation of the prices of Public Utilities in our province include: Firstly, The prices are decided by administrative monopolization not by market. Secondly, government plays an inadequate role that should be performed by market, and does a large number of things that should be done by market, while many things that should be done by government are laid aside. Thirdly, the abuse of monopolistic situation popularly exists, and enterprises monopolize coercively the business of installing and repairing, and coercively sell their products and service. Fourthly, high salary and low efficiency coexist in monopolistic industry. Fifthly, the price signals of some Public Utilities are so distorted that Public Utilities are not economical. Sixthly, the phenomenon of arbitrary fees and prices is still serious.In my thesis, combining the actual situation of our province, I will apply the basic principles of price theory and governmental public economics, learn from international advanced experience, and research how to establish and perfect the formation mechanism of price of Public Utilities in our province, and how to administrate it scientifically. My thesis consists of five parts: the first part is discussed on the theoretic analysis of Public Utilities and its formation mechanism; the second part is discussed on the reforming process of Public Utilities of Guangdong and its historical effect; the third part is discussed on the main problems of the formation of the price of Public Utilities of Guangdong and its restrain on the development of Public Utilities; the forth part is discussed on the goal of the formation mechanism of the price of Public Utilities of Guangdong; the five part is discussed on how to establish and perfect the policies on the formation mechanism of the price of Public Utilities of Guangdong. I want to find out the formation mechanism of the price of Public Utilities through the analysis of these five parts, and to establish the administrative system of price of Public Utilities that can result in not only economic benefit but also social benefit.
