The industrial organization 
of transport markets
Modeling pricing, investment and 
regulation in rail and road networks
This thesis explores the industrial organization of transport markets; that is, 
the decisions made by non-price taking market participants, the outcomes 
of those decisions and the ways in which regulators can influence them. It 
develops methods to model these decisions and uses the resulting models 
to investigate pricing and scheduling behavior, investment and optimal 
regulation under various competitive structures. Importantly, this is done 
while explicitly taking the networked nature of transport markets into 
account, such that transport modes and links are not considered in isolation, 
but as part of larger networks in which complements and substitutes exist.
Harry van der Weijde (1987) holds a BA in Liberal Arts & Sciences from 
University College Roosevelt and an MSc in Economics from the University 
of Edinburgh. He worked for the Electricity Policy Research Group at the 
University of Cambridge before joining the Department of Spatial 
Economics at the Vrije Universiteit to work on this thesis. He is currently 
employed as a Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.
