Overview
Background & policy context:
The Swedish market for passenger railway services has been opened to competition since the year 2010. Although minor entries have been made since this date, the incumbent SJ only faced substantial competition when MTR Express entered the Stockholm-Gothenburg line in March 2015.
Objectives:
Using unique Sweden ticket price data from operators' websites, this project investigates what effects the entry of the operator on railway market has had on market prices.
