"Nutzt Wettbewerb auf den Schienen dem Kunden?"

Unter dem Titel "Nutzt Wettbewerb auf den Schienen dem Kunden?" widmet
sich die heutige SZ dem Thema Bahn und Wettbewerb. Der Artikel beruft
sich auf zwei wissensschaftliche Abhandlungen, die ich mal im Orginal
rausgesucht habe:

| Exploring the Effects of Competition for Railway Markets
|
| Rafael Lalive, University of Zürich, CESifo and IZA
| Armin Schmutzler,University of Zürich, CEPR and ENCORE
|
| Abstract: This paper studies the effects of introducing competition
| for local passenger railway markets in the German state of Baden-
| Württemberg. We compare the evolution of the frequency of service on
| lines that were exposed to competition for the market with lines
| procured by direct negotiations with the incumbent. Our results
| suggest that the competitively procured lines enjoyed a stronger
| growth of the frequency of service than those that were not procured
| competitively, even after controlling for various line
characteristics
| that might have had an independent influence on the frequency of
| service. Our results further suggest that the effects of competition
| may depend strongly on the operator.

| Entry in Liberalized Railway Markets: The German Experience
|
| RAFAEL LALIVE, Department of Economics, University of Lausanne
| ARMIN SCHMUTZLER, Socioeconomic Institute, University of Zurich
|
| Abstract
| In Germany, competitive franchising is increasingly being used to
| procure passenger railway services that were previously provided by
| a state monopolist. This paper analyzes 77 tenders that differ with
| respect to network size, service frequency, contract duration and
| the proximity to other lines that are already run by competitors of
| DB Regio, a subsidiary of the successor of the former state
monopolist.
| Our analysis shows that competitors are more likely to win small
| networks and more recent auctions. Other controls such as contract
| duration and the adjacency to other lines run by entrants are
| insignificant.
