Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulatory reform in the late 1970s and early 1980s vastly transformed the labor market for transportation workers. Most research in this area focuses on the effect of deregulation on the earnings of nonmanagement company workers in airline, trucking and rail. Deregulation of transportation industries, though, has had a broader effect on workers. For instance, deregulation also influences workers' hours worked per week, working conditions, worker safety, and a host of other labor issues. Deregulation might also influence the earnings of managers and self-employed workers in transportation industries. Examining these issues is valuable because such analysis provides a more complete assessment of labor market changes following the shift to a more market oriented business environment. Transportation Labor Issues and Regulatory Reform adds to the debate on deregulation's influence on transportation labor markets by presenting empirical evidence on an array of labor market outcomes in transportation industries. Contributions to this volume are categorized by their analysis on worker safety, working conditions and employment opportunities, and by their analysis on managerial and self-employed earnings

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely investigation of the potential economic effects, both realized and unrealized, of artificial intelligence within the United States healthcare system. In sweeping conversations about the impact of artificial intelligence on many sectors of the economy, healthcare has received relatively little attention. Yet it seems unlikely that an industry that represents nearly one-fifth of the economy could escape the efficiency and cost-driven disruptions of AI. The Economics of Artificial Intelligence: Health Care Challenges brings together contributions from health economists, physicians, philosophers, and scholars in law, public health, and machine learning to identify the primary barriers to entry of AI in the healthcare sector. Across original papers and in wide-ranging responses, the contributors analyze barriers of four types: incentives, management, data availability, and regulation. They also suggest that AI has the potential to improve outcomes and lower costs. Understanding both the benefits of and barriers to AI adoption is essential for designing policies that will affect the evolution of the healthcare system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to capture and analyze several idiosyncratic features of industry and labor in the developing world. Available books and graduate-level texts in labor economics largely discuss industrial and labor market situations prevalent in developed countries, where well-defined institutional arrangements and regulations create a very different scope of analysis. The patterns of choice in training and contracts in the labor market more apparent in developing and transition countries are discussed, as are the information-theoretic results. The book also critically examines labor migration, a context in which the developing and transition countries represent large sources in the present global order. A broad base of empirical observations from industries is used to develop analytical conjectures on risk-sharing arrangements between workers and employers, while strong intuitive explanations are combined with relevant mathematical and graphical derivations, ensuring the book’s readability among graduate students pursuing courses in labor economics and industrial economics for developing and transition countries. The book may also serve as a valuable reference guide for all students in advanced human resources courses at management schools. Presenting state-of-the art research findings in all of its chapters, the book discusses numerous institutional peculiarities of the developing world, making the results distinct in view of the general scope of labor economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three chapters: one chapter in industrial organization and two chapters in transportation economics. The first chapter studies competition between geographically differentiated firms selling differentiated products. Using an original data set of prices at a franchised retail coffee bar in New York City, this chapter examines how a retailer's price varies with its degree of geographic differentiation from competitors. The evidence shows that the relationship between price and geographic differentiation depends on the extent to which a product is differentiated from competitors' products in other characteristics. If products are otherwise sufficiently differentiated, prices are higher when competing retailers are located geographically close together. Products that are not sufficiently differentiated in other characteristics, by contrast, face lower prices when geographic differentiation is smaller. The findings appear to be consistent with multidimensional product differentiation models.The second and third chapters study driver behavior in congested traffic. The second chapter determines the size of the congestion externality generated by different vehicle types. Analysis of detailed vehicle trajectory data provides evidence that light trucks (pickups, sport utility vehicles, and vans) use 4--6% more road space than cars because drivers follow light trucks at a greater distance and light truck drivers follow other vehicles at a greater distance than car drivers. Using a bottleneck congestion model, I estimate that the average delay on a California freeway could be reduced by 26% or $2.2 million annually if all light trucks were replaced with cars.The third chapter explores the reliability of heuristics drivers may use to judge relative speed and make lane change decisions. Using vehicle trajectory data, I find that a driver may underestimate her speed relative to other lanes. She is also more likely to do so in heavily congested traffic. Given the external costs of lane changing and the evidence presented in this chapter, many lane changes are likely neither socially nor privately optimal.

This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Policy-makers often call for expanding public spending on infrastructure, which includes a broad range of investments from roads and bridges to digital networks that will expand access to high-speed broadband. Some point to near-term macro-economic benefits and job creation, others focus on long-term effects on productivity and economic growth. This volume explores the links between infrastructure spending and economic outcomes, as well as key economic issues in the funding and management of infrastructure projects. It draws together research studies that describe the short-run stimulus effects of infrastructure spending, develop new estimates of the stock of U.S. infrastructure capital, and explore the incentive aspects of public-private partnerships (PPPs). A salient issue is the treatment of risk in evaluating publicly-funded infrastructure projects and in connection with PPPs. The goal of the volume is to provide a reference for researchers seeking to expand research on infrastructure issues, and for policy-makers tasked with determining the appropriate level of infrastructure spending"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dissertation consists of three chapters in Industrial Organization and Transportation Economics. The first chapter investigates the effects of the tariff reduction on the demand structure of the Korean automobile industry. For the analysis, I estimate the coefficients of the demand function and then derive the price elasticities of the demand with the random-coefficients logit model. By the elimination of the tariff on imported automobiles, the supply price of an imported automobile is reduced by 7.4% regardless of the engine displacement. I find that the market shares of imported automobiles are expected to increase by 25.94% and those of domestic automobiles to decrease by 0.08%, on average, by the reduction of the supply prices. In the second chapter, the unilateral price effects of mergers in the Korean automobile industry are measured based on the random-coefficients logit model of demand and the Bertrand-competition assumption. After confirming the goodness-of-fit of the model by comparing the estimated margins in the industry to the actual margins, I estimate unilateral price changes from several hypothetical mergers. The average price of vehicle models is expected to increase by 55.67 USD (0.36%) and 26.57 USD (0.13%) after the merger of Ssangyong with Hyundai and with GM Daewoo respectively. I also find that the average price is expected to be reduced by 66.86 USD (0.56%) without the merger between Hyundai and Kia. The third chapter studies the effect of land use density on vehicle and fuel usage with a recursive system of residential density, vehicle mileage, and fuel consumption, which accounts for both residential self-selection bias and the non-random missing data problem with national level data from the 2009 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS). A household that is located in 1,000 housing units per square mile (35% of the sample average) less dense area but identical in all of the other aspects is expected to drive 1,384 (7.1%) more miles and consume 70 (7.5%) more gallons of fuel per year than other households. These results are similar to the predictions in Brownstone and Kim (2010) with the 2001 NHTS.

Book excerpt: This book offers a critical reflection on the meaning and expected impact of the fourth industrial revolution, and its implications for industrial policy. Industrial revolutions are considered not only in terms of technological progress, but also in the context of the changing relationship between market and production dynamics, and the social and political conditions enabling the development of new technologies. Industrial Policy for the Manufacturing Revolution aims to increase our capacity to anticipate and adapt to the forthcoming structural changes. A concrete illustration of this industrial policy is provided through an experience of its implementation at regional level.
