Research On Industry Characteristics And Market Structure Of Road Freight

Road freight is basis industry of economic development, and industry of positive effects,which play important role in comprehensive system and economic development. Since theeighties of last century, the size scale of road freight is basic adaptation economic and industry,after long-term development. But along with economic restructure and industry upgrading,road freight is more important, especially high-quality road freight. Original developmentmodel of road freight erupts series problems, such as structural imbalance of supply,competition mechanism of survival of the fittest out of action, lack of market creditmechanism, lost of leverage of price mechanism, intensification is low, that promote roadfreight become the focus of public opinion. Because of the importance of road freight forsocial-economic and social stability, which are key issues of government’s concern. In orderto promote development of road freight industry, government adopts series of controlmeasures trying to push road freight harmonious and sustainable development, in the pastdecade. But the results are not satisfactory, road freight fall into governance cycle whichshows management lead to loss of vitality, and lack of management lead to disorder. Theproblems of road freight development cause intense discussion, the mainstream meansmeasures of government fail, and proposes only market mechanism can induce road freight tothe normal development track. This paper holds different views.In order to improve allocation efficiency and effectiveness of road freight industryresource, fully meet transportation demand, and push road freight healthy and orderlydevelopment, this paper research the market structure base on industry characteristics of roadfreight. In this research paper, the problems of road freight are analyzed based on theories ofindustrial economic, institutional economic, game theory, transportation economic and so on,applied research methods of normative and empirical, comparative and system. We proposethe basic contradiction of road freight is the contradiction between diversification oftransportation demand and integration of market organization, construct the judgment theoryand method of road freight market structure, based on the level of supply market organization,size-scale and value content of transportation demand, and combined on industrycharacteristics. By comparing the market behavior and market performance of road freight between China and developed countries, the result appears the level of market performance ofChinese is low. The main reason is development of road freight in china promoted by officialrules, which loss basis relying of implement. On the basis of this, we defined the action rangebetween official rules and unofficial constraints. Reasonable price mechanism of road freightand large-scale infrastructure franchise system of road freight are constructed based onconsumer surplus theory, the leverage of price mechanism and large-scale infrastructure isanalyzed.
