Title: DEMAND FOR SUBURBAN RAILWAY SERVICES IN SPAIN
Abstract: During the 1990s, significant changes have taken place in Spanish passenger railway market. This paper focuses on the factors which influence the demand for suburban services. using panel data from 11 cities in which RENFE operates those services, a demand function is estimated. As expected, demand for such services is shown to be more elastic with respect to quality (measured as frequency) than to prices. When the whole sample is segmented accordingly to city size, a re-estimation of the model for each subsample shows that the difference between those two elasticities increases with city size.
