Book excerpt: Numerous countries have attempted to improve the performance of their railways by introducing more competition, but there is fierce debate and no consensus on how this is best achieved.

Download or read book Competition Law in Australia written by Stephen G. Corones and published by Lawbook Company. This book was released on 1999 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corones' Restrictive Trade Practices Law is now completely updated in a new edition, Competition Law in Australia. This new edition reflects the recent dramatic changes in the trade practices legislation. Due to the impact of the Hilmer Report, & hence changes to the teaching syllabus, the book required a change in its focus & breadth. This second edition focuses not just on Part IV (Restrictive Trade Practices) of the Trade Practices Act, but also deals with: * Part IIIA (Access to Services) * Part XIA (the Competition Code) * Part XIB (Anti-competitive Conduct in the Telecommunications Industry), & * Part XIC (Telecommunications Access Regime). The book's important introductory chapter remains, locating competition law within its economic environment, thus providing students with a broader perspective, aiding their understanding of the aims & objectives of the Trade Practices Act. Major areas of change since the previous edition which are now covered in the text include: * the competition law provisions of the Act * the new broader role of the ACCC (Australian Competition & Consumer Commission) * the Competition Reform Policy Act (1995), which introduced into all states, competition codes relating to individuals not just corporations * the repeal of s49 of the TPA on Price Discrimination * the new Evidence Act 1995 (Cth), & * legal professional privilege. For an up-to-date & comprehensive investigation of competition law this book will be invaluable to both students & practitioners.

Download or read book U S Freight Rail Economics and Policy written by Jeffrey Macher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The passage of the Staggers Rail Act in 1980 led brought a renaissance to the freight rail industry. In the decade following, economists documented the effects of the Act on a variety of important economic metrics including prices, costs, and productivity. Over the preceding years, and with the return of the industry to more stable footing, attention to the industry by economists faded. The lack of attention, however, has not been due to a dearth of ongoing economic and policy issues that continue to confront the industry. In this volume, we begin to rectify this inattention. Rather than retread older analyses or provide yet another look at the consequences of Staggers, we assemble a collection of ten chapters in four sections that collectively provide fresh and up-to-date analyses of the economic issues and policy challenges the industry faces: the first section sets the context through foundational discussion of freight rail; the second section highlights the role of freight rail in an increasingly interrelated economy; the third section examines industry structure and scope in freight rail; and the fourth section assesses current regulatory challenges that confront freight rail. This book will be of great value to researchers, academics, policymakers, and students interested in the fields of freight rail economics and policy, transportation, business history, and regulatory economics.
