In the case of rail, deregulation offset declines from other factors. Economic theory does not provide unique prediction of the impacts of regulation on labor. There is little doubt that deregulation had major impact on the labor markets in both industries, especially in trucking where wages fell precipitously in the late 1070s and early at the same time as regulatory changes were enacted in both industries.

Rather, administrative deregulation was actually process that began in the and culminated with the passage of the Motor Carrier and the Staggers Rail in Since the industries likely experienced deregulation in nondiscrete way and since both industries were deregulated at time when real wages were declining economywide, it seems that special attention should be given to the analysis of wages seems to be an alternative which can control for other macroeconomic time specific factors and allows for deregulations impact to be endogenously determined and modeled as nondiscrete.

Typically, studies of wages in rail and trucking have relied upon repeated cross sectional data, comparing labor market conditions in the prederegulation period to the postderegulation period, incorporating dummy variable to measure the impact of deregulation. 1 These analyses are limited in two ways.

In the case of rail, deregulation offset declines from other factors. Economic theory does not provide unique prediction of the impacts of regulation on labor. Typically, studies of wages in these industries over time. Using purely time series approach to the analysis of wages seems to be an alternative which can control for other macroeconomic time specific factors and allows for deregulations impact to be endogenously determined and modeled as nondiscrete. However, railroad and trucking deregulation were not discrete events. On the one hand, regulation create economic rents for firms by restricting entry and by price setting.

therefore, earnings and employment. This yields the potential to distinguish the impact of deregulation on labor markets. The failure to account for the recession and other factors is likely to result in bias that overstates any negative impact on wages resulting from deregulation.
