Download or read book On the Economics of the Restructuring of World Railways with a Focus on Russia written by Russell W. Pittman and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lecture, delivered at the Higher School of Economics in 2020, opens with a discussion of the modern history of economists' treatment of network industries: from cost-of-service regulation through incentive regulation to vertical restructuring. This history is then applied to the freight railways sector, followed by a discussion of the current state of the debate on rail restructuring - what we term the European versus the American model, or vertical versus horizontal separation - first generally and then in the Russian Federation. Finally, we seek to derive lessons relevant to Russia from both the empirical literature and the results of recent reform policies implemented in the United States and the European Union.
Download or read book Regulating Infrastructure written by José A. Gómez-Ibáñez and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-15 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging study of urban infrastructure “offers a series of fascinating arguments” in favor of market-oriented approaches to regulation (Times Higher Education Supplement). In the 1980s and ‘90s, many countries turned to the private sector to provide infrastructure and utilities—such as gas, telephones, and highways—with the idea that market-based incentives would control costs and improve the quality of essential services. But high-profile failures have since raised troubling questions about privatization. This book addresses one of the most vexing of these: how can government fairly and effectively regulate “natural monopolies”—those infrastructure and utility services whose technologies make competition impractical? Mapping out various approaches to regulation, José Gómez-Ibáñez draws on a wealth of case studies, as well as history, politics, and economics. He makes a strong case for favoring market-oriented and contractual approaches over those that grant more discretion to government regulators. He shows how contracts can provide stronger protection for infrastructure customers and suppliers—and greater opportunities to tailor services to their mutual advantage. At the same time, he highlights scenarios where alternative schemes may be needed.
Download or read book Explaining Railway Reform in China written by Linda Tjia Yin-nor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having been state-owned for decades, the railway reform in China confused many people, particularly in terms of its ownership and property rights arrangements. Western literature always prescribes that the best model for railway reform is privatization. China’s leadership has also enunciated the state’s determination to re-arrange property rights and rejuvenate corporate governance. But is China’s railway reform really a story of convergence and will the Chinese government follow the western model of railway reform? Addressing these questions, this book provides a positive explanation of the reform in China’s railway sector between 1978 and the dissolution of the Ministry of Railways. It bridges the socialist reform and transport policy literature, and studies the empirical changes of the property rights arrangements in China’s railway system. Refuting the convergence theory, it concludes that the cyclical reform policies of decentralization and re-centralization were actually an exploratory and interactive mechanism of "assets discovery" and "assets recovery". This in-depth study is based on 21 face-to-face interviews with railway cadres as well as field trips to collect first-hand information in Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Wuhan. As one of the only empirical studies on the reform of the railway sector in China, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of China studies, Transport studies and Political Economy.
