In the "Market Size and Vertical Structure in the Railway Industry" article, the researchers explore how the size of a railway market impacts how companies work together. They focus on a model where one company operates trains and needs inputs like labor and rail infrastructure. The study shows that when the market for train services is bigger, the train company is more likely to merge with the rail infrastructure company. This suggests that in the railway industry, larger train service markets often lead to more integration between different parts of the industry like train operations and rail infrastructure.
