CAMPOS JIMENEZ Evaluating Rail Reform in LAC.D
I Conference on Railroad Industry Structure, Competition and Investment. Toulouse 7-8 November 2003 Evaluating rail reform in Latin America: Competition and investment effects* Javier CAMPOS** Juan Luis JIMÉNEZ Workgroup on Infrastructure and Transport Economics Department of Applied Economics University of Las Palmas - Spain Abstract Building on the existing literature and the new data emerged in recent years, this paper discusses the results of the rail restructuring experiences of Latin America countries during the 1990s. We critically evaluate how rail services and infrastructures were transferred from Government hands to private operators, particularly in the three largest economies in the region: Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. The paper analyzes the reasons behind the restructuring decisions and, but is mostly centered on the policy results, which are evaluated focusing on the competition and investment effects on investment decisions. The main purpose of this paper is to draw core lessons in order to provide governments with better information related to how they could structure a reform package in transport to make the best of the growth opportunities within their countries. This should help bring about the economic growth that is central in helping to alleviate poverty in developing countries and moving these economies out of the stagnation that they currently face. * This paper has been prepared for the 1st Conference on Railroad Industry Structure, Competition and Investment (Toulouse, 7-8 November, 2003). The authors acknowledge the contributions from previous studies and the help of the Brazilian government. However, the usual disclaimer applies. ** Contact author: Department of Applied Economics.
