greatest for Products of Mines where a one-dollar increase in the whole- sale price of the product is associated with a 3.1-cent increase in the rate. However, the most significant effect is achieved for Group V, Manufactures. These results are in accord.with our a priori beliefs. Due to the strange behavior of the tonnage coefficient estimates, we shall discuss those effects further in Appendix.A to this Chapter. .Table (4.12) summarizes our final coefficient estimates for the rail rate equations. Barge Transport The data utilized in our investigations of water and motor freight rates were of a different nature than the rail data. The rail data were taken from public documents -- annual statistics collected and pub- lished by the Interstate Commerce Commission. No such statistics ex- isted for. water or truck transport. For these modes it was necessary to collect and process revenue and tonnage information from private sources. This was accomplished quite satisfactorily for motor carriage, less so for barge. The truck data will be seen to include some forty-six large carriers and to cover at least the central United States quite well. The water data are for only one carrier, A. L. Mechling Barge Lines, Inc, (MBL). However, ME, is a large, and hopefully representative, water carrier. During 1963, MBL operated on it least seventeen different river systems and was one of the six largest water common carriers in the United States. The Data. From A. L. Mechling Barge Lines, Inc., we have the follow- ing usable information derived from freight bills for the year 1963. 103
1. date of the freight bill. 2. origin river. 3. destination river. 4. net weight of the shipment. 5. barge owner and number. 6. commodity by AAR commodity code. 7. ICC revenue account number. 8. revenue. 9. ton-miles. An inspection of the data revealed that the ICC account 301, freight revenue, was the only revenue account appropriate for our use. The other revenue accounts were for special operations, e.g., revenue from charters, demurrage, special services, etc., and contained rela- tively few observations. It was also evident that although operations on seventeen river districts were included in the data, the coverage was not uniform enough to allow a full analysis of shipments by origi- nating and receiving river districts. The decision was made to simply aggregate all the river district observations rather than to analyze perhaps three or four common shipment patterns. We were then left with 4220 observations on tonnage, commodity, revenue and ton-miles. With this information it was possible to handle the water rate investigations in almost the same manner as the rail rate analysis was carried out. A major dissimilarity was that while the rail observations were annual totals, a water observation was a single shipment. Average revenue per ton was again taken as our dependent variable. It was obtained by simply dividing the revenue for each shipment by 104
