Abstract

This report analyses how the structure of the transport sector interacts with international trade. It then considers the implications of market liberalisation in the transport sector as well as the interaction between trade liberalisation and the structure of the transport sector. The analysis is supported by some empirical evidence on competition in different transport modes within the OECD countries. The paper includes the following sections: Introduction; A theoretical model of goods trade and transport services; A factor analysis of regulatory structures; Trading cost equivalents;and Conclusions. For the covering abstract see ITRD E141216.
