Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An empirical investigation into the distorting effects of subsidies on firm efficiency, this book puts together and applies recent developments in econometric methods to explore efficiency consequences of government subsidy on firm operations. Within the neoclassical framework, the book provides analytical solutions capturing the effect of subsidy on cost, output, input demand, and allocative distortions when the firm receives operating and capital subsidies. By doing so, the book avoids the ad-hoc models that have been used to estimate the effect of subsidy on firm efficiency in the transit industry. The book takes the analytical model and develops empirical models to estimate the effect of subsidy on firm efficiency in transit firms. It applies a variety of techniques—deterministic, stochastic frontier estimation, and Data Envelopment Analysis to capture various aspects of the effect of subsidy. It separates allocative inefficiency into those due to subsidy and those due to internal factors. The book's contribution is the consistency and thoroughness with which the authors deal with the topic and the rigor of the empirical estimation.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Subsidy policies on public urban transport have been adopted ubiquitously. In both developed and developing countries, subsidies are implemented to make transport more affordable. Despite their widespread implementation, there are virtually no quantitative assessments of their distributional incidence, making it impossible to determine if these instruments are pro-poor. This paper reviews the arguments used to justify subsidy policies in public urban transport. Using different tools to quantitatively evaluate the incidence and distributive impacts of subsidy policy options, the paper analyzes the findings of a series of research papers that study urban public transport subsidy policies in developed and developing countries. The available evidence indicates that current public urban transport subsidy policies do not make the poorest better off. Supply-side subsidies are, for the most part, neutral or regressive; while demand-side subsidies perform better-although many of them do not improve income distribution. Considering that the policy objective is to improve the welfare of the poorest, it is imperative to move away from supply-side subsidies towards demand-side subsidies and to integrate transport social concerns into wider poverty alleviation efforts, which include the possibility of channeling subsidies through monetary transfer systems or through other transfer instruments (food subsidies, health services and education for the poor). The general conclusion of the paper is that more effort should be devoted to improve the targeting properties of public urban transport subsidies using means-testing procedures to ensure a more pro-poor incidence of subsidies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government has granted funds to urban areas to subsidize mass transit operating expenses. These funds are allocated on the basis of a congressionally determined formula. GAO has developed criteria by which various factors included in such a formula can be evaluated. Although no single factor satisfies all criteria, some are clearly unsatisfactory, and GAO has indicated the type of formula which satisfies the criteria reasonably well. Potential allocation formulas can be evaluated according to the following criteria: (1) interjurisdictional equity whereby each area receives an allocation appropriate to its relative need; (2) attainment of federal program objectives; (3) creation and maintenance of incentives for efficiency; and (4) availability of data. Conflicts exist among these criteria, however, and potential factors must be considered. The potential factors fall into four categories: transit supply factors; transit demand factors; joint transit supply and demand factors; and urban factors such as population, employment density, per capita income, and age of the city. GAO believes that a good formula should include at least one factor that ensures that the largest shares go to urban areas with the greatest need and at least one factor that creates incentives for desirable responses by operators. One possible formula includes the following measures: population; population density; revenue-seat-hours of service; and transit availability. A formula based on these measures is a reasonable way to allocate operating assistance because: (1) existing incentives for cost efficiency are maintained; (2) reliable data are generally available; (3) the largest shares can be allocated to areas with the greatest need; (4) incentives are created to attain federal program objectives; and (5) the formula is neutral with respect to the use of farebox revenues and state and local subsidies to finance the nonfederally funded portion of transit costs.
