Set Up

This paper studies how the price affects the demand for public transport in the peak- and off-peak period in the public transport in Stockholm. Further, the study investigates how differences in price elasticities of demand in the peak- and off-peak period can enable an increase in revenues as well as the total number of passengers while dampening the peak-load problem through price discrimination. The data is set up to examine the effect of the price on the number of passengers travelling by subway from January 1999 to December 2008. A number of control variables are used to isolate the effect of a price change in our econometric model. Thereafter, the elasticities of demand for each period are calculated in order to find Ramsey prices that can be used when a monopoly firm maximizes profit and minimizes the welfare loss. The study concludes that the price elasticities of demand differ between the peak- and the off-peak period and that SL should charge a higher price in the peak-period and a lower price in the off-peak period to both increase their revenue, the total number of passengers, and reduce their problems associated with the peak-load demand.

Welfare Implications

We study the pricing and welfare implications of changing the VAT status of the national postal operator (NPO) from exempt to rated. We build a model where the NPO offers both single-piece and bulk mail to customers, some of them VAT rated, others VAT exempt. We solve for the optimal Ramsey prices under monopoly and under access-based competition for bulk mail. We finally perform numerical simulations in order to determine how prices, volumes and welfare might be affected by the change in the NPO’s VAT status, both under monopoly and under access-based competition for bulk mail.
