项目摘要

Our researches considered two issues: (1) regulatory reform and competition policy regarding vertical integration and vertical separation, and (2) vertical separation of railway industry. On the first issue, we carried out, in particular, the research on (i)a new industrial organization of Japan which is suitable to induce more competition and investment, and (ii) the duty to deal of anti-trust law from the viewpoint of transaction cost economics and relational contracting. On the second issue, we investigated (i) liberalization of Romanian railways under enlargement of EU, (ii) efficiency of Romanian railways, (iii) regulation and efficiency of the UK railways, and (iv) the effect of disused train lines on the regional economy in Japan.We have pointed out that the vertical separation can be effective means to induce more competition and necassary investment of the various network industries, whereas vertical separation has not been employed in the privatization of Japanese network industries, and so the competition work less in Japan than in EU countries. We also scrutinized the vertical separation of railway industry of UK and Romania where vertical separation works. We gave the summary of the history of vertical separation and current problems of railways in UK and Romania, and also did quantitative research of production efficiency after privatization. Finally, we did a case study of the economic effect of disused train lines in Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan.Furthermore, we published two books "Competition: Strategy and Policy" and "Introduction to Microeconomics for Business and Public Policy," based on our research efforts.

我们的研究考虑了两个问题：（1）有关垂直整合和垂直分离的监管改革和竞争政策，以及（2）铁路行业的垂直分离。在第一个问题上，我们尤其是对（i）日本的新工业组织进行的研究，该组织适合于引起更多的竞争和投资，以及（ii）从交易成本经济学和关系签约的角度来处理反托拉斯法的义务。 On the second issue, we investigated (i) liberalization of Romanian railways under enlargement of EU, (ii) efficiency of Romanian railways, (iii) regulation and efficiency of the UK railways, and (iv) the effect of disused train lines on the regional economy in Japan.We have pointed out that the vertical separation can be effective means to induce more competition and necassary investment of the various network industries, whereas vertical separation has not受雇于日本网络行业的私有化，因此，日本的竞争工作比在欧盟国家少。我们还仔细检查了英国和罗马尼亚铁路行业的垂直分离，垂直分离有效。我们给出了英国和罗马尼亚铁路垂直分离和当前问题的历史的摘要，并在私有化后对生产效率进行了定量研究。最后，我们对日本北部岛的北海道进行了案例研究，以根据我们的研究工作，根据我们的研究工作，出版了两本书“竞争：战略与政策”和“商业和公共政策微观经济学简介”，根据我们的研究工作，出版了两本书。
