Abstract

The Staggers Act of 1980 largely ended almost a century of U.S. government regulation of railroads. The paper presents evidence that deregulation has had a positive impact on the economy. Specifically, deregulation has generated approximately $15 billion worth of annual efficiency gains, contrary to the relatively modest gains estimated previously. In performing the analysis, the paper examines several aspects of railroad deregulation on rail rates.
