This Information Paper presents input-price indexes for national road construction activity for the period 1975–76 to 1985–86. This Paper contains a further update of the BTE Input-Price Indexes for the financial year 1985–86.

In July 1984, the Federal Bureau of Transport Economics organised a seminar to enable the problems of the shore-based shipping industry to be discussed by its senior representatives.

The Paper presents statistics on road expenditure by State and Territory, by level of government, by year and by Commonwealth road funding category.

The objectives of this study were to review developments in world container shipping and establish the main trends in the deep sea trades. This will in turn provide background to the BTE's own studies of liner shipping and the review of shipping policy now taking place in Australia.

This study analyses the efficiency of the Australian liner shipping industry by using the recently developed theory of contestable markets. Its importance is reflected in the fact that over half of Australia's ocean borne trade is carried by the liner sector.

This Paper examines the demand for air travel in Australia and forecasts domestic passenger and freight aviation demand to the end of the century at five-year intervals. The analysis begins by reviewing recent trends in patronage and air fares.

This Paper presents a demand analysis of New South Wales regional and commuter intrastate air services. The main objective of this study was to provide forecasts of patronage to the year 2000 for New South Wales regional and commuter intrastate air services.

Volume 1 of the Bureau's Report No 60, 'A Study of Liner Shipping Services into and out of Australia', presents a distillation of the findings of the study and was intended to address the interests of a wide audience and provide a succinct basis for an understanding of the liner shipping industry

This Paper discusses the aviation regulatory system in the United States and its effects on the airline industry there. It concentrates on the domestic passenger market as this is the area currently under review in Australia.

Early in 1984 the Bureau of Transport Economics carried out a survey of trucking operations, primarily to assist the National Road Freight Industry Inquiry in its data collection activity. This Paper describes the survey and sets out its major findings.
