In the model, under laissez faire, prices are determined by Nash bargaining with complete information and lie above marginal costs. Under laissez faire pricing and free entry the average number of vacant cabs need not be efficient and could be either higher than optimal or less, depending upon the relative bargaining power of individual cabs and potential customers. Under collusive control of entry, the average number of vacant cabs will be set at the efficient level given the prices, which if set collusively will be above the laissez faire prices. These findings shed new light on the political success of cartelizing regulation of the cruising taxicab industry such as that observed in Japan. J. Japanese Int.

 @article{flath_2001, title={Japanese regulation of truck transport}, volume={15}, ISSN={["0889-1583"]}, DOI={10.1006/jjie.2000.0460}, abstractNote={Since 1951 the Japanese Ministry of Transport has been vested with sweeping authority to restrict entry and set prices in commercial trucking, but the standard price schedules that it continues to publicize and periodically revise are in fact widely disregarded by commercial trucking firms. There are no economies or diseconomies of scale and firms have expanded until industry profits are exhausted. The changes in truck transport regulation introduced in 1991 were mainly directed at freeing a new activity, parcel delivery service, from regulatory constraints and spreading some of the benefits to others in the industry.
