Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of two government measures in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic: the number of passengers transported by rail and the kilometers traveled. Eurostat data were used to develop an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) statistical model for capturing the time-series trend. The results confirm statistically significant differences in the Slovak Republic after introducing fare-free public transport (FFPT). Passenger-transport volumes increased by 449,000 quarterly; passenger-kilometer volumes increased by 23.2 million. A similar government intervention – in the Czech Republic – was statistically insignificant. Passenger-transport volumes increased by 1.17 million and passenger-kilometers increased by 42.9 million quarterly; but compensation to railway operators increased by 763%.

转型经济体票价补贴效应的实证研究

摘要本文考察了捷克共和国和斯洛伐克共和国两项政府措施的影响：铁路客运量和旅行公里数。欧盟统计局的数据用于开发自回归综合移动平均（ARIMA）统计模型，以捕捉时间序列趋势。结果证实了斯洛伐克共和国在引入免费公共交通（FFPT）后的统计显著差异。客运量季度增加44.9万人次；旅客公里数增加2320万人次。类似的政府干预——在捷克共和国——在统计上是微不足道的。季度客运量增加117万人次，客运公里数增加4290万公里；但对铁路运营商的补偿增加了763%。
