The Productivity Commission's inquiry report into the 'Road and Rail Freight Infrastructure Pricing', was tabled in Parliament in April 2007. The Commission had been asked to inquiry into the costs of freight transport infrastructure on major road and rail networks and options for transport pricing reform. The inquiry would assist COAG to implement efficient pricing of road and rail freight infrastructure to maximise freight transport efficiency and net benefits for the community. Although the Commission concluded that heavy trucks, in aggregate, had been paying their way under the PAYGO system, and that competitive distortions between road and rail were limited, it also found that pricing and regulatory arrangements hampered the efficient provision and productive use of both road and rail infrastructure. The main efficiency losses with current road charging arrangements derive from the averaging of costs and charges under PAYGO, and the disconnect between road revenue and spending decisions. The Commission proposed a sequential approach to reform to be overseen by COAG, this involves: improvements to the PAYGO system, coupled with regulatory reform and improved investment decision-making processes; then incremental pricing for trucks currently excluded from parts of the network, and institutional reforms, before moving to introduce wider location-based pricing. The Commission stressed that each step should be preceded by detailed examination of costs, benefits and distributional impacts, and identification of appropriate adjustment mechanisms. For rail, the Commission recommended a range of reforms to overcome the legacy of a century of inconsistent state based regulation. It also concluded that there was scope to moderate rail access regulation and that corporatisation principles should be more strictly applied.

An Introduction to Efficiency and Productivity Analysis is designed as a primer for anyone seeking an authoritative introduction to efficiency and productivity analysis. It is a systematic treatment of four relatively new methodologies in Efficiency/Production Analysis: (a) Least-Squares Econometric Production Models, (b) Total Factor Productivity (TFP) Indices, (c) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), and (d) Stochastic Frontiers. Each method is discussed thoroughly. First, the basic elements of each method are discussed using models to illustrate the method's fundamentals, and, second, the discussion is expanded to treat the extensions and varieties of each method's uses. Finally, one or more case studies are provided as a full illustration of how each methodology can be used. In addition, all four methodologies will be linked in the book's presentation by examining the advantages and disadvantages of each method and the problems to which each method can be most suitably applied. The book offers the first unified text presentation of methods that will be of use to students, researchers and practitioners who work in the growing area of Efficiency/Productivity Analysis. The book also provides detailed advice on computer programs which can be used to calculate the various measures. This involves a number of presentations of computer instructions and output listings for the SHAZAM, TFPIP, DEAP and FRONTIER computer programs.

This report captures ways in which policy makers and senior officials in railway organizations from emerging economies can accelerate modal shift to rail. Such officials, as well as the general public, aspire for more freight to be moved by rail. The environmental and societal benefits of such a shift are compelling. And yet investment in railways is often not followed by a corresponding increase in freight moved by rail. This report highlights the fact that, in a world of changing global supply chains and logistics, the approach to regaining modal share needs to be different. The expectation that lower cost and efficient rail service will automatically lead to modal shift from road to rail has not been a reality in most emerging economies. Modern railways focus on understanding the logistics of targeted freight and positioning rail transport services as part of an overall logistics system aimed at meeting the needs of customers.
