Truck Technology and Efficient Market Structure
A bstractUsing the trucking industry as an example, this paper extends the empirical research on multiproduct firms to analyze the efficient numbers of firms in the industry. The paper first considers the issue of size related economies and argues that although there are limited economies of scale, economies of scope appear to be sufficiently strong to explain the observed large number of mergers and acquisitions that have occurred in the industr…
Output Aggregation, Network Effects, and the Measurement of Trucking Technology
A multiproduct cost function for the regulated trucking industry is developed and estimated that utilizes network variables as arguments in the cost function. Using a cross-section of large regulated common carriers in 1976, it is shown that (1) substantial economies of network configuration and network operation exist, with well-connected networks and concentrated traffic flows yielding significant cost savings; and (2) the use of aggregate outp…
Freight Transport Regulation
A Derived Demand Function for Freight Transportation
An attempt has been made to improve upon existing specifications and estimations of freight demand by treating transportation as an input in the production process and estimating the derived input demand equations for rail and trucking associated with a general translog cost function. This estimation method also recognizes that rates and shipment characteristics are jointly dependent and takes this inter dependence into account in estimating the …
The Employment Sector of a Regional Policy Simulation Model
D ESPITE the rapid development of techniques of regional economic analysis during the past fifteen years, most regional models have continued to focus upon selected aspects of the regional economy rather than upon its totality. Economic base models and regional input-output models have concentrated upon the relationships between the output and employment in the export sectors and the local sectors;' comparative cost models have concentrated upon …
