  The Static-Dynamic Efficiency Trade-off in the US Rail Freight Industry: Assessment of an Open
                                           Access Policy


Abstract: This paper focuses on the US railroad industry, which is characterized by seven
integrated firms that provide freight services on tracks they own and maintain. We provide a
structural model to analyze the potential effects of opening the network to new firms on prices and
investment incentives. In particular, we propose a framework for analyzing the tension between
static efficiency (pricing behavior) and dynamic efficiency (investment behavior).
