Understanding how railroad value is measured and why it matters
This nonfiction work explains how the Interstate Commerce Commission framed the idea of a fair return on railroad property and how value is determined for rate setting. It examines the Transportation Act of 1920 and the ongoing process of valuing railroad property, combining legal context with practical methods for calculating value, costs, and earnings.
The book presents the key debates over how value should be defined, how to handle uniform rates, and how different systems might earn a fair return. It traces the shift from early doctrines to the modern framework that guides policy and regulation, making the topic accessible to readers new to economic regulation and to specialists seeking historical perspective.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

This book provides a historical overview of railroad valuation and analyzes the Interstate Commerce Commission's efforts to implement valuation provisions of the 1920 Transportation Act.
