Abstract: The Staggers Rail Act places increased reliance on demand characteristics and rate competition in rate determination. Given this increased rate setting freedom, this paper evaluates (1) the effectiveness of intermodal competition in restraining export-grain rail rates, and (2) identifies the role that this Act may play in providing rate protection in various geographical areas.
