| A recent issue impacting hay shipments in Washington State involves the reduction of container services at the Port of Portland, Oregon. Prior to this change, containers filled with hay were shipped almost exclusively via barge on the Columbia River to the Port of Portland. After reaching Portland, the containers were then loaded onto one of three steamship lines: Hyundai, K-Line, or Hanjin and destined to markets in Japan and China. As of September 2004, Hanjin is the only carrier that calls on the Port of Portland. This research effort collected firm level data on the production, transportation and marketing of hay in Washington and utilizes this information to develop an optimization model of regional hay movements. One alternative evaluated in this... |

| The shipping Act of 1984 represents a new attempt to balance the benefits of a conference (cartel) system against its costs. This legislation may have increased conference market power by streamlining the regulatory process and expanding antitrust immunity. Alternatively, the legislation may have decreased conference market power by providing for the Mandatory Right to Independent Action and Service Contracts. We develop and estimate an econometric model and find that any increased market power is offset by competitive provisions when those competitive provision apply. However, when those provisions do not apply, the Act may increase market power. |

| Truck transportation has become very important to the North Dakota grain industry. Identification of the costs and characteristics of exempt motor carriers allowed evaluation of the performance of the industry. Average mileage per vehicle was about 88,000 per year. Firms larger than four trucks achieved higher annual mileage as well as larger percent of return trip that was loaded (59 percent compared to 25 percent for the smaller firms). Seventy-eight of the firms had been in business five years or more. Costs per operating mile appeared to be about 92 cents for the industry. Larger firms had a four cent per mile advantage over smaller firms. Three conclusions were: The industry has become more mature and stable in the past five years after experiencing a... |
