  • The Value of New Transport in Deprived Areas Who Benefi Ts, How and Why? Karen Lucas, Sophie Tyler and Georgina Christodoulou
    The value of new transport in deprived areas Who benefi ts, how and why? Karen Lucas, Sophie Tyler and Georgina Christodoulou An assessment of the value of new transport services to people living in deprived neighbourhoods in England. Regeneration strategies for deprived areas are currently under review. To date there has been little if any direct evaluation of the contribution of transport services to local regeneration. This study evaluates the benefi ts – both monetary and quality of life – of transport services to the people who use them and to the local practitioners responsible for the wider regeneration of these neighbourhoods. It covers: • the policy context; • characteristics of the four case study areas (Braunstone, Leicester; Camborne, Pool, and Redruth, Cornwall; Wythenshawe, Manchester and Walsall, West Midlands); • key fi ndings from interviews with local professionals; • information on use of the services and their value to local people; • an evaluation of the social benefi ts of the services; • key messages for local and central government.

  • OFT1158 Technical Annexes
    E ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS Introduction E.1 This annexe is in three parts. Part One presents our econometric methodology, which is unchanged from the methodology we adopted in the Proposed Decision. It also includes tables of regression results, which were included in the Proposed Decision but which we subsequently revised in the Additional Note on Price Concentration. We include those original tables of results in Part One only for completeness: we do not rely upon them. E.2 Part Two is the Additional Note on Price Concentration, which was published on 9 October but which was provided to Frontier Economics, who reviewed it on behalf of four major bus operators, in advance of its publication. The note includes our revised regressions on which we rely for our findings. Part Two reproduces the note as it was originally published. E.3 Part Three contains our response to the report submitted by Frontier Economics (Frontier) in relation to our econometric analysis. It discusses the issues raised by Frontier and presents a number of robustness tests that we have conducted in the light of Frontier's report. E.4 Part One includes the tables and text from Annexe C of the Proposed Decision exactly as they were published in the Proposed Decision. For consistency we use the same paragraph and table numbering in Part One as was used in the Proposed Decision. Therefore, references to Annexe C of the Proposed Decision or paragraphs and tables within it can be read as also being references to Part One of this annexe. E.5 Similarly, and for the same reason, references to the Additional Note on Price Concentration can be read as being references to Part Two of this annexe.
