Economic assessment of the relationship between the quality level of transport services and the demand for freight transportation
Abstract
Modern problems of ensuring the quality level of transport services for cargo owners in railway transport and economic ways to solve them based on computational and analytical methods of analysis and evaluation are considered. The procedure for analyzing the Quality Index as a modern tool for factor analysis and assessing the quality of transport services for cargo owners is described. A technique for estimating the elasticity of demand for transportation with respect to the quality of transport services and the formation of a production function in transport “volume — price — quality of transportation” is shown. A methodology for assessing the economic efficiency of improving the quality of transport services based on the indicator of non-price elasticity of demand is considered and key macro factors that affect the quality of transport services are identified.
