Competition in the German Interurban Bus Industry

Period: 01.07.2015 – 30.04.2016

In January 2013, the German Interurban Bus Industry was liberalized and therefore opened for competition. Against this background, the projects aim at constructing a panel data set that can subsequently be used to study concrete research questions in the fields of both competition policy and competitive strategy such as the welfare effects of mergers or the entry behavior of certain bus companies.
