Abstract

This paper analyses the possibilities of markets delegation inside regional railway networks. We estimate economies of scale at a disagregated level, the only one that is now relevant for studying European railway markets. Our results show that economies of scale do not justify the monopoly of a sole railway undertaking on a whole regional network, given the expected benefit of competition. We propose to deintegrate the regional networks while taking into account the network effects (interconnection costs), the contestability of the delegated markets (informational rents) and the market organization (transactional costs).
