This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, first published in 1977, contrasts new and older approaches to the history of transport and outlines a critical exposition of the methods used to quantify the contribution of railways to economic growth by means of counterfactual speculation and the measurement of social savings. The author also outlines and appraises an alternative measure of the impact of railways, namely the social rate of return on capital invested in railways. The final chapters are concerned with the effects on growth generated by the construction and diffusion of railways through expenditure on labour, capital goods and industrial inputs and through their effects on the integration of markets, and patterns of location.
Download or read book The Economics and Politics of High Speed Rail written by Daniel Albalate and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technological revolution linked to high speed rail (HSR) has been accompanied by myths and claims about its contribution to society and the economy. Although HSR is unquestionably a technological advance that has become a symbol of modernity, this review and analysis of the international experiences shows that the conditions necessary to have a positive impact, economically, socially and environmentally, are enormously restrictive. The Economics and Politics of High Speed Rail: Lessons from Experiences Abroad, by Daniel Albalate and Germà Bel, introduces the main questions policy makers and scholars should examine when considering and studying HSR implementation, with particular emphasis on the US’s recent interest in this technology and possible application in California. Albalate and Bel then review the experiences of the most significant implementations of HSR around the globe. This in-depth international perspective includes chapters on the pioneers of HSR (Japan and France), the European followers (Germany, Spain and Italy), as well as Asian experiences in China, Taiwan, and Korea. Albalate and Bel’s study provides a clear distinction between the myths and realities associated with this transportation innovation. Among the most relevant findings, this study highlights how HSR projects that do not satisfy highly restrictive conditions—on mobility patterns, measured costs, and economically rational designs—that make it desirable have been the source of huge financial debacles and the economic failure of HSR in most cases, which result in unfortunate consequences for taxpayers. The Economics and Politics of High Speed Rail is a rigorous investigation of the economic and political challenges and ramifications of implementing new public transportation technology.

Download or read book U S Freight Rail Economics and Policy written by Jeffrey T. Macher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 256 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Railway Economics: Paper Read Before the Society of Engineers of the University of Minnesota The first Bessemer rails introduced into this country from England cost one hundred and fifty dollars a ton. Like rails of our own make have recently been sold at seventeen dollars a ton. Sir Henry himself, while in the first flush of his success, and amassing a fortune, immediately reduced the cost of tires in England from four hundred and fifty dollars a ton to one hun dred. A Bessemer rail will last from six to nine times as long as an iron one under the same traffic. Here is a clew to many economies. With the life of rails so greatly prolonged, the cost of renewal of rails and repairs of track, a heavy item of ex pense to every company, is of course greatly reduced. From being able to obtain rails at once cheaper and far more durable, other important consequences have flowed. Heavier rails have been placed within reach. This in turn has made possible the use of heavier engines, stronger cars and heavier loads, result ing in such economies of operation as to be a principal cause of the continual decline in freight rates in this country, which today are only a third of what they were when the new metal had become fairly introduced.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Economic Geography, language: English, abstract: Today in the economic environment of each country there are some important factors which make the economy on the growth road, among these factors is the infrastructure and mobility (internally and externally), in the period of industrialization the mobility of resources, raw materials and freights was expensive because of the limitation of mobility access; the primary aim of discovering new ways and systems to an easy and cheap mobility was earning more and more benefits. Establishing new ways to transport easy and cheap was the discovering the rail ways to move passengers and freights among the cities first and the countries after, this new way of transporting made a huge distributing of the economic growth in those pioneer countries, which distributed changing public policies of more and more countries toward establishing the new transport manner, deciding to establish a new railways systems distributed to bring more investments and benefits to the investors and the productivity and growing GDP per capita of those countries.
