Testing for Economies of Scope in European Railways: An Efficiency Analysis
Growitsch, Christian; Wetzel, Heike - 2007
In this paper, we conduct a pan-European effciency analysis to investigate the performance of European railways with a particular focus on economies of vertical integration. We test the hypothesis that integrated railways realize economies of scope and, thus, produce railway services with a...

Market size and vertical structure in the rail way industry
Matsushima, Noriaki; Mizutani, Fumitoshi - 2011
We provide a theoretical framework to discuss the relation between market size and vertical structure in the railway industry. The framework is based on a simple downstream monopoly model with two input suppliers, labor forces and the rail infrastructure firm. The operation of the downstream...

Biased quality investments and organisational structures in network industries: An application to the railway industry
Pakula, Benjamin; Götz, Georg - 2011
This paper analyses the incentives to upgrade input quality in vertically related (network) industries. Upstream investments have a biased effect on the downstream companies and lead to vertical product differentiation. Different vertical structures such as vertical integration, ownership and...

Restructuring the Chinese freight railway : two scenarios
Cui, Shana; Pittman, Russell W.; Zhao, Jian - In: Asia and the global economy : AGE 1 (2021) 1, pp. 1-14
Twenty years of debate regarding the restructuring of the Chinese freight railway have failed to yield a consensus. Early policy statements favoring the creation of above-the-rail competition over a monopoly infrastructure – the "European" model of rail restructuring – have broadened into a...

Quasi-integration in less-than-truckload trucking
Fernández, Alberto; Arruñada, Benito; González, Manuel - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 1998
This work studies the organization of less-than-truckload trucking from a contractual point of view. We show that the huge number of owner-operators working in the industry hides a much less fragmented reality. Most of those owner-operators are “quasi-integrated” in higher organizational...
