Abstract

IT SEEMS the level of vehicles we see at the top end of touring 4x4 builds is only limited by the imagination of their owners and the talents of the vehicle builders. While creating turn-key touring 4x4 vehicles has been the bread-and-butter business for Rambler Vehicles, they've always turned to Toowoomba- based re-manufacturer ASG 4x4 to handle the engineering side of these conversions, such as chopping the back off wagon bodies to form utes, and sectioning chassis to create longer wheelbases. Rambler debuted its first 300 Series double-cab conversion at the Brisbane 4x4 Show earlier this year in conjunction with ASG 4x4, and we couldn't w"ait to get a closer look and drive it.

6. Contestability, Complementary Inputs and Contracting: The Case of Harbour Towage.

Abstract

It has been argued that competitive tendering for contracts can be used to overcome problems of natural monopoly and to make markets ‘contestable’. The recent Productivity Commission (2002) report into harbour towage in Australia noted the potential benefits of competition for contracts. Using the example of harbour towage, we investigate these claims when competitive tendering involves one segment of a vertical production chain. We show that direct customer contracting will not result in a perfectly contestable outcome if there is a complementary input provider with market power. We consider whether this situation improves when customers delegate the contracting process. Delegation only improves the outcome from the customers' perspective if the authority is able to receive side payments from the towage operators. Such side payments a priori would appear to be against the interests of the customers. We show, however, that side payments help the port authority to overcome the problems of market power, benefiting both the port authority and the customers. Further, these contracting outcomes are socially preferred to the unregulated outcome where port authorities and towage operators set prices and quality independently. This analysis sheds light and generally supports the Productivity Commission's recommendations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
