520 |a"Public debate in Canada concerning the relative roles of competition and regulation in the For-hire motor carrier industry has continued for some time without the benefit of rigorous empirical evidence. This state of affairs has been partially rectified by several studies done for the Regulation Reference, Economic Council of Canada, and an Interdepartmental Working Committee led by Transport Canada, but in many cases, the empirical evidence available for policy analysis remains weak. This study attempts to contribute positively to this situation by estimating rate and cost functions for relevant segments of the For-hire trucking industry, when operating under various regulatory regimes ranging from no regulation to entry and price controls. This information, when combined with some institutional and legal knowledge, may be used to provide policy makers with a forecast of likely industry performance if legislative changes favouring competitive forces are enacted"--Summary, p. xix.
