Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis further highlights how regulations arise in the policy-making process; and to what extend they stem from either anti-competitive interests between established firms, a lack of information among policymakers, or simply planners' failure to integrate taxis into a more comprehensive regional transportation system. Ultimately this thesis argues that some of Iowa City's taxicab regulations, particularly the liability insurance minimums for drivers, the terms of operation for dispatching, and the profiling of immigrant and small firm cabbies by ICPD are burdensome and unnecessary. Loosening of these restrictions would benefit small firm and drivers, the general consumer of taxi services, and compliment larger city planning goals in Iowa City, Iowa. Despite the costs and burdens, this thesis does not justify complete deregulation for Iowa City's transportation policy, particularly when case studies of such efforts have not always yielded positive benefits. Instead, this thesis advocates for "better regulation", to be enforced on a regional level, rather than at a municipal level.

Download or read book Taxi Urban Economies and the Social and Transport Impacts of the Taxicab written by James Cooper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The taxicab makes a significant contribution to the accessibility of a city, and provides a wide range of services across many different social groups and urban environments. This study considers the roles and functions of the taxi from its origins as the first licensed form of public transport, to the current variations of vehicle type and operation, to predictions for its future development. Also addressed here is the impact which this ubiquitous form of transport has on contemporary urban life, and the analytical tools being used and developed for its licensing and control.

This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vehicle for hire (VFH) market – broadly comprising taxis, limousines, and app-based transport – has faced multiple and significant changes over the years, with the period since 2010 a time of major upheaval. This book documents the development of the market over time, examining its regulation and control structures, exploring its history, trends, and market theories, and discussing how these are both promoted and challenged by the changes affecting the sector. This book reviews recent developments in the VFH industry, from the influx of new market entrants and the emergence of app-based services to their widespread use, comparing international markets and their regulation, and draws on a series of case studies in key locations in North America, Europe, and Asia. It establishes and details economic, market, social, and political theory affecting the VFH industry and devotes its second half to the definition and emergence of transport typologies and markets in which the sector has a role (or potential role). The book concludes, from a neutral standpoint, on the balance between market participants, addressing the immediate future facing the industry, including the impacts of Covid and other external factors. It considers the short- and long-term effects of market change, the role played by regulators, and the market conditions imposed upon them. Written for industry practitioners – both suppliers and regulators – as well as the academic community, this book will inform the community and prompt further analysis of a significant and growing field in transportation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation addresses several open questions in industrial organization economics, with a particular focus on dynamic economic models of spatial equilibrium and labor supply; spatial differentiation of supply and demand; spatially differentiated regula- tion; and the frictions stemming from the search and matching process. These questions are centered around the market for taxicabs, an important segment of the transportation industry that is currently facing regulatory overhaul in cities around the world. The first chapter analyzes the dynamic spatial equilibrium of taxicabs and shows how common taxi regulations lead to substantial inefficiencies. Taxis compete for pas- sengers by driving to different locations around the city. Search costs ensure that optimal search behavior will still result in equilibrium frictions in the form of waiting times and spatial mismatch. Medallion limit regulations and fixed fare structures exacerbate these frictions by preventing markets from clearing on prices, leaving empty taxis in some ar- eas, and excess demand in other areas. To analyze the role of regulation on frictions and efficiency, I pose a dynamic model of search and matching between taxis and passengers under regulation. Using a comprehensive dataset of New York City yellow medallion taxis, I use this model to compute the equilibrium spatial distribution of vacant taxis and estimate intraday demand. My estimates show that search frictions reduce welfare by $422M per year, or 62%. Counterfactual analysis reveals that existing regulations attain only 11% of the efficiency implied by a social planner’s solution, while the adoption of optimized two- part tariff pricing would lead to 89% efficiency, or a welfare gain on the order of $2.1B per year. These gains are further enhanced by the addition of directed matching technology. The second chapter considers the estimation of dynamic discrete choice models in a semi-parametric setting, in which the per-period utility functions are known up to a finite number of parameters, but the distribution of utility shocks is left unspecified. To show identification, we derive and exploit a new Bellman-like recursive representation for the unknown quantile function of the utility shocks. Our estimators are straightforward to compute; resembling classic estimators from the literature on semi-parametric regression and average derivative estimation. We use this estimator to evaluate a structural model of dynamic labor supply for New York City taxicab drivers. The third chapter presents an analysis of tipping in taxi markets. Tipping represents an approximately $50 billion economy in the U.S., but little empirical research has been done to understand the systematic determinants of tips. A substantial impediment to this type of analysis is a lack of data; not only are tips frequently unreported, they are often computed in part based on a judgement of service quality, a highly subjective characteristic that is difficult to reliably measure. This paper characterizes the determinants of tipping. Using New York taxi industry data, I identify and document new information about how tips are paid out in the taxi industry.
Download or read book The Uncertain Hand written by Christopher D. Hall and published by Chinese University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the sometimes bizarre and comical history of taxi regulations in Hong Kong. It compares the history of regulation changes to developments in the taxi business, including the rise and fall of the illegal taxi trade, the patterns of taxi accidents, malpractice complaints, and taxi license prices. The strange history of the market for taxi licenses shows that these regulations have been inconsistent, erratic and incomprehensible to people risking their money in the public auctions for licenses. In essence, this is an analysis of how people in the taxi business have studied the process of governmental regulation. The dispersion and volatility of taxi license auction prices, reveal the results of these studies and say more about their conclusions than any library of academic works will ever do.
