However, significant discrepancies exist between aggregated transportation costs and those recorded at the firm level. Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)—a standard for publicly traded companies in the United States must abide—transportation costs are generally recognized as direct expenditure on transportation services, such as when firms pay a carrier for transporting freight. On the other hand, expense items such as fuel, driver wages, leases on transportation equipment are instead broadly grouped under operating expenses despite their specific transportation purposes. In doing so, these expenses that are typically recorded internally as transportation costs are obfuscated to investors, scholars, or other users of financial statements filed along with company quarterly and annual reports. As recent supply chain disruptions due to both natural (e.g., pandemic) and manmade (e.g., foreign conflicts) causes have highlighted, there is an urgent need for various stakeholders to be able to evaluate firm logistics and transportation strategy with better salience. To that end, improved transportation cost visibility is urgently needed. Therefore, our objective is to provide a research agenda for academics to broach the subject of transportation cost transparency.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42679720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the deepening of China’s “Internet +” strategy, new opportunities and challenges have emerged for China’s railway system. While railway transportation industry efficiency has been widely discussed, most previous studies have focused on railway transportation industry operations and have generally ignored the important influence of internet technology on the industry. Therefore, to go some way to filling this gap, this study took the number of Chinese internet users as an investment indicator and integrated big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) concepts into a dynamic directional distance function-data envelopment analysis (DDF-DEA) model to comprehensively measure the impact of internet technology on railway transportation industry efficiency in 31 Chinese provinces from 2011 to 2016. It was found that (1) when the internet influence was considered, the overall railway transportation industry efficiency in most regions significantly improved, with Heilongjiang Province having the largest increase; (2) the labor input, passenger traffic, freight volume, railway turnover, and freight turnover input efficiencies in most provinces were significantly higher when the internet influence was considered; and (3) the internet has had a positive impact on railway transportation.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41641468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study examines the roles of two management decisions—advertising expenses and flight personnel salaries—in shaping customer satisfaction via ex-ante expectations and the actual service experience, respectively. Drawing from expectancy disconfirmation theory (EDT) and the airline service quality literature, we investigate the effectiveness of these two expenses in moderating the impact of service failures on customer satisfaction. We test our hypotheses with a panel dataset created by merging data on 15,979 online airline ratings, operational service failures, and financial and traffic performance from three data sources for the 2010–19 period. We find that both arrival delays and involuntary denied boarding negatively affect customer satisfaction. In addition we find that while advertising positively impacts customer satisfaction, it strengthens the negative effect of involuntary denied boarding on customer satisfaction. However, increasing flight personnel salaries helps mitigate this negative effect through a positive and empathic service experience. These findings underscore the importance of managing passenger expectations about the service and enhancing the inflight experience as to ameliorate the negative effects of operational failures on customer satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45359330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Toward providing effective pricing strategies, one must find a measure to assess the effectiveness of ticket pricing. Despite the importance that pricing can have on the performance of businesses, it is mostly addressed based on managers’ own experiences. Moreover, data envelopment units employed for pricing are limited to showing the relationship between increasing service quality and increasing efficiency. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to quantitatively evaluate ticket pricing from the perspective of passengers on one of the busiest rail routes, based on data envelopment analysis. First, train evaluation criteria are extracted by studying the literature. Then, the most influential criteria are identified based on the opinions of experts in rail transportation. The desirability and satisfaction level of each criterion are acquired for fifteen types of passenger trains. Finally, the ticket pricing efficiency is calculated based on the ratio between the train ticket prices and the quality of their services. The results show that out of fifteen examined trains, ten trains are inefficient in terms of pricing. To revise pricing, three decreasing, increasing and medial policies are introduced and illustrated in detail. All three policies are applied and the results are compared. Finally, it is investigated to verify in what environmental conditions each pricing policy can be more effective.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48551044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Strong evidence exists that motor carriers’ capital investment is positively correlated with truckload spot prices. This article explores whether the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic moderated the relationship between spot prices and capital investment by motor carriers. We theorize that the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic muted the relationship between spot prices and investment in trucks to a greater degree than it muted the relationship between spot prices and investment in trailers. We attribute this to the COVID-19 pandemic creating tremendous uncertainty about the availability of truck drivers, which made investing in trucks less attractive than investing in trailers that do not require additional labor. To test our theory, we assemble a time series dataset that combines proprietary and public data from several sources. Econometric estimates corroborate our predictions and are robust to instrumental variable estimation to assuage concerns about endogeneity of spot prices. We explain the implications of our findings for theory and practice.","PeriodicalId":46529,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49270995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
