Cần đẩy nhanh xã hội hóa xe buýt?
30 Aug, 2017
nghiên cứu ở Mỹ về privatize bus systems, nếu tư nhân hóa toàn bộ sẽ tiết kiệm chi phí khoảng 5,7 tỷ usd (30% chi phí vận hành), số người đi xe buýt tăng từ việc giảm giá thành này sẽ mang lại lợi ích xã hội (tối thiểu) 524 triệu usd, và thêm 26.000 việc làm trong ngành.

Local governments spend roughly $1.6 trillion per year to provide a variety of public services ranging from police and fire protection to public schools and public transit. However, we know little about public sector’s productivity in delivering key services. Public bus service represents a standardized output for benchmarking the cost of local government service provision. Among the top twenty largest cities, there exists significant dispersion in the operating cost per bus mile with the highest being more than three times as high as the lowest. Using a regression discontinuity design, we estimate the cost savings from privatization and explore the political economy of why privatization rates are lower in high cost unionized areas. Our analysis suggests that fully privatizing all bus transit would generate cost savings of approximately $5.7 billion, or 30% of total U.S. bus transit operating expenses. The corresponding increased use of public transit from this cost reduction would lead to a gain in social welfare of $524 million, at minimum, and at least 26,000 additional transit jobs.
That is from Rhiannon Jerch, Matthew E. Kahn, and Shanjun Li, forthcoming in the Journal of Public Economics.
