Book excerpt: Europe's rail-freight market is undergoing sweeping changes. While an expanding long-distance export market is favorable to rail transportation, railways have been steadily losing market share to the truck industry. The reasons for this are numerous and range from a sub-standard quality of service, lack of advanced computer technology and transport logistics, and a shortage of commercial marketng technique. As rail networks open up to competition, new rail firms are springing up. Will the current operators keep pace with change or are they threatened with extinction? Are new firms going to be commercially viable in areas in whcih traditional operators have always failed? The Round Table attempted to answer these questions by taking a look at how the European railway landscape is being reshaped. In doing so, it learned lessons which stand to benefit transportation policy throughout Europe.

This might sound like a strange question, yet it only stands to reason that building new roads - or other infrastructure - may actually encourage people to use the new additional capacity to travel more. Induced mobility is a hotly debated issue, but the experts are no longer in any doubt that it is a very real phenomenon. However, measuring it is another matter, since we do not have sufficient data or experience in this area. This Round Table presents the data that is available to date on infrastructure-induced mobility. From the introductory reports and discussions, it is clear that much progress has been made in the last few years. As recently as ten years ago, many experts would have disputed the very existence of the induced mobility phenomenon. Today a consensus is emerging: Round Table 105 gives the full report.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While deregulation and privatization in the transport sector have led to increases in productivity in general, not all reform hopes have materialized. In particular, the reform of the provision of infrastructure services has not caused the expected mobilization of private resources, and concession relations have been less stable and less efficiency-enhancing than expected. In view of current discussions of reform results, the Round Table focused on the following issues: Where are the limits for deregulation? The discussion identified the conditions under which competition and potential competition can be expected to work. More care has to be applied to single out the transport sub-sectors where these conditions hold. Which are the crucial factors that necessitate regulation? Many parts of the transport sector are fraught with indivisibilities, network economies, sector specific assets or lack of resale markets for investment goods. Where these factors play an important role, regulation might improve the efficiency of the transport system. What is the role of the transaction costs of regulation? The neglect of (surrogate) market transaction costs, in particular in the case of vertical disintegration, has led to lower than expected benefits from the reforms. What is the cost of regulation? Regulatory policies have to take account of the information asymmetries between the actors involved. Monitoring and control costs have often prohibited the depoliticizing of regulatory processes. The Round Tale discussed to what extent a rule-bound, performance-based regulation could contain the friction resulting from discretionary regulatory powers.
