TY - JOUR ID - 958867 AU - Tomeš, Zdeněk PY - 2011 TI - Competition Limits in Railway Transport JF - Ekonomický časopis/Journal of Economics VL - 59/2011 IS - 2 SP - 194-203 EP - 194-203 PB - Ekonomický a Prognostický ústav SAV SN - 00133035 KW - railway KW - competition KW - competition policy UR - https://www.ceeol.com/search/viewpdf?id=262732 N2 - The aim of the paper is to assess advantages and disadvantages of the policy of railway separation (unbundling) of infrastructure and services. The policy of vertical unbundling is an attempt to introduce competition into the provision of railway services. The vertical unbundling strategy in railways has been strongly advocated by the European Commission as a possibility to increase competition and efficiency in this sector. The strategy has been applied since the beginning of 1990’s in many European countries with varied energy, depth and timing. An evaluation of vertical unbundling strategy reveals both positive and negative aspects. On the positive side there are clear indications that introduction of reforms has improved efficiency. But it is evident that power of competition has significant limits in railways due to numerous specifics of this unique industry. If the unbundling policy has more advantages than disadvantages is subject to debate but there are strong indications that there are also other possible ways of combating inefficiencies in the railway sector.
