  • The Influence of the Hokuriku Shinkansen on Komatsu–Haneda Flight Users: an Analysis of Opening the Kanazawa and Tsuruga Hokuriku Shinkansen
    〈金沢星稜大学論集 第 54 巻 第 1 号 令和 2 年 9 月〉 1 The Influence of the Hokuriku Shinkansen on Komatsu–Haneda Flight Users: An Analysis of Opening the Kanazawa and Tsuruga Hokuriku Shinkansen Takashi AOKI 1. Introduction The opening of the bullet train or Hokuriku Shinkansen from Nagano to Kanazawa in March in 2015, which directly connects to Tokyo, has had important positive effects in Ishikawa Prefecture, such as the increase in the number of visitors to the area. However, this development has negatively influenced some industries in Ishikawa. In particular, the number of airline passengers between Tokyo (Haneda Airport) and Ishikawa (Komatsu Airport) has decreased after the opening, and the number of Komatsu–Handa (KH) flights also decreased from 12 flights per day before 2014 to 10 flights per day after 2016. Because planners expected the reduction in the number of KH flights and implemented various measures to maintain the level of service offered. Such measures have ensured the operation of 10 KH flights per day at present, but the expansion of the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Tsuruga (Fukui Prefecture, next to Ishikawa Prefecture) from Kanazawa in the spring of 2023 may cause further negative impacts on the number of flights and passengers. However, accidents in the Hokuriku Shinkansen in those areas could result in the train shutting down for many days—a real problem that already occurred in 2019. Therefore, KH flights are expected to be continued due to risk management concerns about the area’s transportation system and the related economic aspects. Based on the validity of KH flights, this paper analyzes the effects on KH flights influenced by the Hokuriku Shinkansen Kanazawa opening and the extension to Tsuruga.

  • Effect of Market Competition on Passengers' Time Cost By
    【Article】 51 Effect of Market Competition on Passengers’ Time Cost by Conventional Rail Bing HE Graduate Student Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation Hiroshima University 1-5-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima Shi, Hiroshima Ken, Japan, 739-8529 [email protected] Yuichiro YOSHIDA Professor Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation, Hiroshima University 1-5-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima Shi, Hiroshima Ken, Japan, 739-8529 [email protected] Abstract Due to heavy deficits, the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) was initiated on April 1, 1987 and was geographically divided into six different railway companies for transporting passengers. This paper investigates the impact of market competition on conventional rail (CR) passengers’ time cost by using a difference-in-differences (DID) approach and directional origin-destination (OD) pair level data in four periods: two years before JNR’s privatization (1976 and 1986) and two years after JNR’s privatization (1996 and 2006). It investigates the effect of market competition on passengers’ time cost in the regions where CR competes with high-speed rail (HSR), when comparing with monopoly region after JNR privatization. The result of this analysis shows that market competition leads to an increment in passengers’ time cost by CR in duopoly regions when comparing with the change of time cost by CR in monopoly region, but it is not statistically significant. Key words: Conventional Rail, Competition, Difference-in-differences 1. Introduction Among a number of theoretical & empirical studies in the field of economics, the topic of market competition has attracted the attention of many researchers (Chamberlin, 1933; Lerner, 1934; Fujita, 1988; Parenti et al., 2017).
