This paper studies the wider economic impacts on local unemployment of the liberalized passenger rail between Ostrava, the third-biggest city in the Czech Republic, and Prague, its capital. The local impacts are estimated at the LAU 1 level (administrative districts) using the event study and difference-in-differences method. The liberalization motivated the entry of two new private providers to compete with the public provider. The resulting competition in ticket prices, the number of connections, and service quality had a strong beneficial effect on labor market connectivity and business opportunities in connected districts. It significantly reduced unemployment in the districts along the rail line compared with the control districts. The effect, however, weakens with the level of urbanization of the treated district and with the distance from the rail. It could partly be transmitted through better skill matching on the back of higher inward and outward migration, higher firm entry and lower firm exit from the local market, as well as more business opportunities for self-employed entrepreneurs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45761,"journal":{"name":"Economics of Transportation","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 100334"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134656278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate and compare two CSR types, mandatory CSR, imposed by the government, and voluntary CSR, chosen by the HSR operator, and show that mandatory CSR can be lower or higher than voluntary CSR, depending on the transportation subsidy types offered. With uniform subsidies, mandatory CSR together with a higher subsidy is lower than voluntary CSR, which yields higher profits for domestic firms and higher social welfare, while the opposite result can be found with discriminatory subsidies. We further explore the welfare effect of HSR privatization policies with CSR activities. We find that irrespective of the CSR types and subsidy types, privatization with subsidies always improves social welfare; however, privatization with mandatory (voluntary) CSR improves (reduces) social welfare in the absence of subsidies. These findings suggest that post-privatization with CSR activities may be harmful to society without an appropriately designed subsidy policy and should be monitored by antitrust agencies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45761,"journal":{"name":"Economics of Transportation","volume":"35 ","pages":"Article 100323"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44452304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper studies the relationship between the development of the Portuguese motorway network between 1981 and 2011 and the growth of population and employment at the local level. We address the endogeneity of the geography of motorways using instrumental variables based on a map of dirt roads from the late 18th century and the main roads of a 1945 road plan. Our findings suggest that, on average, motorways caused large increases in population – and even larger increases in employment – in the municipalities that received them. We also find that motorways contributed to suburbanisation, as the impact of motorways on population growth (but not on employment growth) is stronger in suburban municipalities. Another important nonlinearity is that motorways appear to have influenced urban agglomeration dynamics, as their effect on the growth of the local population between 1981 and 2011 depends on the size of the local population in 1970.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45761,"journal":{"name":"Economics of Transportation","volume":"34 ","pages":"Article 100302"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43247277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
