The Study Of China's Railway Freight Transport Industry's Market Performance Which Are Based On The Theory Of Industrial Organization

In the context of the financial crisis, in order to prevent the acceleration of economic downturn, in February 2009, the State Council has issued a revitalization of 10 important industrial restructuring planning, including the logistics industry. State issued a detailed plan to revitalize. In the logistics industry, the railway freight transport industry is a very important part, it has important strategic significance. In November 2008, Premier Wen put forward the expansion of domestic demand in 4000 billion investment plan. In this rescue measures, the third is to speed up the railways, highways and airports and other major infrastructure. The plan will focus on building a number of passenger rail line and coal-channel projects.Give priority to the development of national railways, it is fully demonstrated its importance. And it is necessary to clear the efficiency levels of rail freight market. China's railway market is a monopolistic industry, a long time, its unity of administrative and enterprise management model. Rail freight transport market has been in a "Big Brother" position. As for the railway freight transport efficiency, in previous studies, most scholars view is from the point of view of economies of scale, they concluded that the inefficient rail transport. The difference with the previous research, this paper will assess the rail freight transport industry in the market performance analysis of the theory of industrial organization framework. In the SCP paradigm, the paper analyzes the rail freight market's contribution rate of technological progress through the model of TFP. Market research is not only cost-effective performance, but also joined the social effects of the analysis. Through this comprehensive analysis, China's railway freight transport industry is not high yield, but its contribution to technological progress is high, and transportation objects and the price of rail freight's impact on the CPI is high, so its advantage is unmatched by other transport modes of. Research indicates that China's railway freight transport industry is a monopoly industry, but it did not like any other monopoly industries as the loss of social welfare, on the contrary it has a certain social performance, such as security and long transport distances and low price.In this paper, the study can be summed up in three aspects: first, in the SCP paradigm, the article analyzes the railway freight transport market structure and market behavior. Second, the article analyzes the market performance of China's railway freight transport industry, including technical progress and social effects. Third, the trends of China's railway freight transport industry.The main contents and conclusions of each chapter:ChapterⅠ: the relevant domestic and international literature review and research, especially in the current financial crisis, the state promulgated a series of railway construction projects, and it is necessary to measure the performance of China's rail freight market.ChapterⅡ: This chapter is a description of the main rail freight market in our country's history, and it is divided into four stages. The current status of rail freight industry is freight turnover high, and mainly for the carriage of coal and other energy supplies, which impact on the national economy. Another focus of this chapter is the contrast, which includes the various means of transportation and the contrast between the domestic and international rail freight industry comparison. Comparison result is cost-effective movement of freight by rail is the best, spent the most, the highest security mode of transport, and it is very competitive. Compared with foreign countries, China's less hardware, in particular, the density of road network per capita are far lower than that of other developed countries, but our country is a high transport efficiency and transport density is large.ChapterⅢ: China's rail freight industry is an exclusive from the Ministry of Railways of the state monopoly markets, market concentration is 92.92%. High market entry threshold, there are some barriers to market entry. ChapterⅣ: First of all, this chapter analyzes the behavior of several major markets, with a focus on price behavior. China's rail freight prices is low, but in a monopoly position, it contains some additional freight costs. In general, the price is relatively stable.ChapterⅤ: This chapter is the focus of this article, the paper first to make some evaluation of commonly used indicators of market performance, and analyzes their strengths and weaknesses, and focus on yield and technical description of the two indicators of progress. Derived by calculating the market rate of return is about 1% and it is relatively low. Indicators of technological progress mainly through total factor productivity model to prove, through the return fitting, such as rail freight market to draw the input-output function. Finally this chapter concludes that technological progress is the contribution to output a higher rate of 12.985 percent for, but narrow the contribution rate of technological progress (knowledge of the contribution rate of progress) the lower the overall performance of its non-intensive. Contribution rate in terms of resources, labor resources and the contribution rate is greater than the contribution rate of capital resources. Another focus of this chapter is to assess the social effects of other, mainly in the transport radius, price and security. Rail freight transport radius long, price is relatively low safety.ChapterⅥ: The present chapter first cited the "long-term railway network plan," and specifically the next 10 years will be the stage of development of China's high-speed rail and rail freight market will enter a phase of rapid development. Through the establishment of multiple linear regression equation, this chapter predicts that freight volumes in 2020, has a volume of goods and freight density, they will be greatly enhance and the latter will be reduced. Finally, policy recommendations put forward in this chapter which includes the operating system to improve freight prices and marketing strategy for improving improvement.ChapterⅦis a summary and outlook.
