Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation Policy and Economic Regulation: Essays in Honor of Theodore Keeler addresses a number of today’s important transportation policy issues, exploring a variety of transportation modes, and examining the policy implications of a number of alternatives. Theodore Keeler had a distinguished career in transportation economics, helping to shape regulatory policies concerning the transportation industries and assessing the appropriateness of various policies. A distinguishing feature of his work is that it always had policy implications. As a tribute to Theodore Keeler, this book examines transportation policy issues across a variety of transportation industries, including aviation, railroads, highways, motor carrier transport, automobiles, urban transit, and ocean shipping. The book evaluates the economic impact and effectiveness of various policies, employing empirical analyses and new estimation techniques, such as Bayesian analysis. The book is designed for transportation professionals and researchers, as well as transportation economics students, providing an in-depth analysis of some of today’s important transportation policy issues. Policy changes established in the last 35-40 years have introduced profound changes in the business environment of the transportation industry. Past policy changes promoted the free market’s role in setting prices and determining service availability. While 21st century policy has focused on a variety of other issues, such as safety, road and air congestion, productivity growth, labor relations and exhaust emission, many still promote the role of competition. In addition to examining various transportation policy issues in the U.S., the book explores some approaches to dealing with transportation issues in different parts of the world. Contemporary transportation policy debates have broadened from their initial focus of primarily examining the merits of reforming economic regulations at national levels, to now examining a variety of issues such as alternative methods of social regulation (such as safety regulation and emission controls), new approaches to changing economic regulations, the potential for reforming international regulations, and the appropriate role for government in transportation. Examines transportation policy developments across a variety of modes, including some international analysis Shows how new policy changes, such as changes in regulation, affect overall transportation system performance Features chapters that use innovative methodologies, such as Bayesian techniques, qualitative analysis, and an attribute-incorporated Malmquist productivity index Examines the ways that policy impacts depend on a variety of factors, and shows how economic tools can be used to gain greater insights into the likely impacts of policy and the desirability of various policies Analyzes transport prices, quality of service, safety, the use of information technology and operating issues, highlighting how transportation enhances quality of life

This mandate requires truck drivers to record their working hours in a specified electronic device instead of a pen and paper method.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO investigated: (1) the nature of discount pricing in the trucking industry and its effect on competition in the industry; and (2) the structure of the less-than-truckload (LTL) sector of the industry, changes to it since 1980, and possible causes of those changes. GAO also reviewed a tariff association's study on pricing. GAO did not find any conclusive evidence or legal cases involving predatory pricing in the trucking industry. GAO found that: (1) all regions showed an increase since 1980 in the market shares of the trucking industry's largest firms; (2) the increased market concentration in trucking was no higher than in manufacturing generally; and (3) the nationwide market share of the largest firms' LTL traffic increased from 25 percent in 1980 to 36 percent in 1984. GAO noted that tariff association data: (1) showed a pattern of excessively low prices within the central and southern regions that had the effect of driving small firms out of business; and (2) suggested that, while profits and rates in the central and southern regions may have been depressed relative to profits and rates in other regions during the late 1970's, this became less true during the 1980's.
