Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...

Accounting Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This case challenges students to apply managerial accounting concepts in the context of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, a large‐scale event shaped by uncertainty, complexity, and public accountability. Positioned as advisors evaluating financial and strategic decisions before the Games, students analyze sponsorship value, cost structures ...

Passenger Car Equivalent Estimation Methods of Trucks in Traffic Stream
International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE), 2020 In Most Of Developing Countries, The Traffic Is Heterogeneous In Nature Consisting Of Wide Variety Of Vehicles Having Different Dynamic And Static Characteristics. Passenger Car Unit (PCU) / Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) Values Show A Vital Job In Changing Over Heterogeneous Traffic Stream Into Comparable Homogeneous Traffic, Which Comprises Of ...

Addiction, EarlyView.Abstract Background and aims In low‐resource settings such as Cameroon, blood alcohol concentration (BAC) testing is rarely available for road traffic injury (RTI) patients, necessitating confidence in self‐reported alcohol use for screening purposes. While Western settings often rely on objective measures like BAC for identifying alcohol‐related RTIs,

The Mutable Original: How Chinese Counterfeits Become Nigerian Originals in African Markets
American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Affordable Chinese copies of Western brands are ubiquitous in African markets. Despite democratizing consumer access, these goods appear to cement hegemonic value hierarchies that rank Chinese or local products as inferior to Western goods.

Estimation of Passenger Car Equivalent for Heavy Vehicles at Signalized Intersections
INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING REVIEW, 2000 Existing methods for estimating passenger car equivalent (PCE) for heavy vehicles at signalized intersections do not demonstrate the relationship between the PCE and proportion of heavy vehicles. This relationship has been clarified theoretically by our method using the headway for through cars and heavy vehicles, and the method has been tested on the ...

Self‐supervised Learning of Fine‐to‐Coarse Cuboid Shape Abstraction
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract The abstraction of 3D objects with simple geometric primitives like cuboids allows us to infer structural information from complex geometry. It is important for 3D shape understanding, structural analysis and geometric modeling. We introduce a novel fine‐to‐coarse self‐supervised learning approach to abstract collections of 3D shapes.

A preliminary analysis for determining passenger car equivalent value for motorcycle during first lost time and saturation time at pretimed signalized intersections [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesIn Banda Aceh City, signalized intersections are a strategic approach to mitigate conflicts such as accidents and traffic congestion. This was achieved by efficiently managing the flow of vehicles passing through intersections, enhancing their overall ...

Asymmetric Pass‐Through and Competition
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the retail price pass‐through of four major tax changes in petroleum products using daily pricing data from gas stations on small Greek islands. We find that (i) the pass‐through of the tax hikes is five times higher than for the tax decrease, (ii) the pass‐through of the tax hikes increases with competition, while that of the tax ...
