REGULATION, COMPETITION, AND THE PUBLIC INTEREST

This book explores many facets in the relationship between transportation as a regulated industry and the public interest. The discussion includes the rationale for regulation of transportation, an analysis of the consumer interest in regulated industries, and the costs of air transport regulation in the face of inflation. Many of the papers are based on Canadian experience but U.S. and British regulatory situations are also discussed.
