Abstract

Abstract:The purpose of this study is to first determine the current incidence of exit from the United States' motor-carrier industry. Second, we develop and test an econometric model of the determinants of motor-carrier exit. Using recent data derived from the Motor Carrier Management Information System database, we find that motor-carrier exit continues to be quite prevalent. This study also finds that motor-carrier crash rates are positively associated with the likelihood of exit from the industry, while fleet size and number of commodity segments handled by motor carriers are negatively associated with a carrier's likelihood of exit. Study findings also suggest that for-hire carriers are more likely to exit, and carriers handling hazardous materials are less likely to exit from the motor-carrier industry. The article discusses these findings, including managerial and public policy implications.
美国机动车出口:流行程度和决定因素
摘要:本研究的目的是首先确定目前退出美国汽车运输业的发生率。其次,我们开发并测试了一个关于汽车承运人退出决定因素的计量经济模型。使用从汽车承运人管理信息系统数据库中获得的最新数据,我们发现汽车承运人退出仍然相当普遍。这项研究还发现,汽车运输公司的事故率与退出该行业的可能性呈正相关,而汽车运输公司处理的车队规模和商品细分市场数量与航空公司退出的可能性呈负相关。研究结果还表明,出租承运人更有可能退出,而处理危险材料的承运人退出汽车承运人行业的可能性较小。文章讨论了这些发现,包括对管理和公共政策的影响。
